Fix My Street

7th December 2010 / / 3 Comments

I came across Fix My Street a couple of months ago and love it. The site invites residents to report problems on their street and neighbourhood to the council. I thought it might be an easy way of reporting issues in Strathbungo without the effort of calling – and being put in an endless queue (“All our operators are busy right now, but your call is important to us…..”!).

Admittedly Glasgow City Council is probably overrun with requests and complaints right now, but in future it would be a good way to contact the council about problems in Strathbungo for which they are responsible. Do let us know how you get on.

Welcome to the new Bungo Blog!

6th December 2010 / / 0 Comments

So here it is…

The biggest message we took away from the AGM in October was that you wanted improvements in the Bungo Blog. I for one want to say a huge ‘Thank You’ to Matt, Jonathan, Chris and Dee for all their efforts in the last month. There is still room for improvement, and if you have a special interest, know some history about the area, or would like to contribute to, or edit, your own section, then please get in touch. Alternatively, you can all register to post here, or in the forum. This is your Blog.

As you’ll see below, the Strathbungo Society is having it’s Christmas party next week in Grianach, so join us for a drink to say hello, or to tell us all about your plans.

Hope to see you there…

Strathbungo Christmas Party

5th December 2010 / / 0 Comments

Join us for the Strathbungo Christmas Party on Tuesday 14th December at 7.30 in Grianach on Nithsdale Road. It’s a great way to meet some of your friends and neighbours, and the regulars will be there so you can let us know what you think about the new website. Diana and Haydn will be putting on a spread, and the party is bring-your-own-bottle.

Bungo Blog Survey Results

3rd December 2010 / / 0 Comments

We now have the Bungo Blog survey results in which we have posted in the section on the Strathbungo Society above. There was a reasonable response to the survey (28 people) and there were some good ideas emerging which we have attempted to incorporate into the refreshed Bungo Blog. In short people wanted to see the blog updated much more often than it currently is and people wanted it to be much more user friendly (which we have tried to do).

There were good ideas for new sections (book and running clubs, forum), an events calendar and feeds from other sites (South Side Happenings, weather, flickr) all of which we have included.

There were no shortage of good ideas for the blog most of which were eminently doable. To be honest the main constraint is the shortage of people to write for the blog and to keep it alive. So please do keep sending us your ideas but most of all please do volunteer to write for the blog as well as post stuff yourself regularly.

Many thanks to those who responded.

Christmas Shopping Evening Tonight Wed 17th November

17th November 2010 / / 0 Comments

A few of the local shops on Kildrostan St are hosting their annual Christmas shopping evening tonight. Marie Brown At Home, Eve Boutique and Floral Haven will all be opening late to host a festive evening. There’s usually mulled wine and mince pies on offer and it’s a good opportunity to browse the new Christmas stock – they’ve all been frantically updating window displays and restocking with festive goodies! The event kicks off at 6pm and should be good fun and a great opportunity to support local businesses. It would be nice, in future years, to see a return to the bigger event that used to take place with carol singers and more local shops and businesses taking part.

Bungo Blog Survey

9th November 2010 / / 0 Comments

Since the October Strathbungo Society AGM when many of you indicated that the Bungo Blog could be improved, a few volunteers have offered to refresh the website. But rather than impose our own ideas we want to hear what residents of Strathbungo would like to see on the site.

The survey is just five quick questions which won’t take you five minutes to complete and we promise to post the results of the survey on Bungo Blog to show what everyone said.

We are doing our best to refresh the Bungo Blog so constructive criticisms and ideas are welcome in equal measure. But best of all of course is if you are interested in volunteering to write periodically for the Bungo Blog please do get in touch. Thanks very much in advance for completing the survey.

Click here to take the survey.
