Strathbungo Society AGM – Use it or Lose it!

meetingGuy

There will be 20th anniversary celebrations at Strathbungo Society’s AGM on Tuesday 27th October (7.30pm) at the Church of Scotland on Queens Drive.

Ironically, this celebration comes as a big question mark remains over whether the Society can continue to exist. Well-loved events such as Bungo in the Back Lanes and Bungo at the Bells are in serious danger of being axed, as the Society is in desperate need of new volunteers to keep its important work going. If anyone has any time to spare, it would be much appreciated. There is room for many peoples interests and skills, from web design and marketing to heavy lifting and tea making! This is a serious plea for help, so please do come along and show your support.

Strathbungo Society AGM

Tuesday 27th October, 7.30pm

Church of Scotland, Queens Drive

 

 

Weans in the Lanes!

A group of Strathbungo residents would like to open up the back lanes once a month for a couple of hours as a space for local children to play outside.

Here, they can get to know neighbours and spend time with friends in a place that is known to all.

There are various factors to consider in setting up Weans in the Lanes, such as safety, volunteers, parking and the level of interest in such a venture.

To hear more about the idea and to register interest and/or discuss concerns please come along to a meeting downstairs at The Bungo on Wednesday 26th August at 7.30pm.

With less than 5 days to go, stall-holders will soon be getting their wares together and residents counting their pennies to spend, as Bungo in the Back Lanes is happening this Saturday 20th June from 1-4pm.

Famous for its residents’ stalls selling everything from bric-a-brac and jewellery to homemade food and clothes, Bungo In The Back Lanes is bigger than ever and now takes place between Nithsdale Road and Thorncliffe Gardens. People are free to open up their garden or bring a table full of goods they’d like to sell down to the lanes on the day. It is always exciting to see what appears on the day – previous years have seen lemonade stalls, races and antiques in a shed plus many other intrepid ideas.

Other features to look out for this year include: Loch Fyne Seafood BBQ; NV Allotments plant sale; Babu Bombay Street Kitchen; Merry Go Round’s Childrens Garden with bouncy castle; face painting and games for children; Glad Café Garden; Then and Now In and Around Strathbungo Picture Show; Glasgow Sport’s activities for children; Bakery 47, Swedish Massage; Architectural Trail plus live music from local bands in each lane.
