Bearsden and Milngavie Ramblers and Hillwalkers Minute of the Committee Meeting Held on 23 June 2014 Bearsden and Milngavie Ramblers and Hillwalkers Minute of the Committee Meeting held on 23 June 2014. Present: Bob Diamond (Chairman). Beth Diamond, Mary Darke, Doreen Kingsbury, Helen Donnachie, Moira Allan, Fiona Taylor, Karine Davison, Imogen Johnstone, Peter Allan, Peter Bartos, Helena Bartos 1. Apologies: Hazel Miller, Liz Weir 2. Minute of the meeting of 28 April 2014 These were agreed with the following corrections: 5.2 amend to ‘Map Leaflets and Plinth. It was agreed that this should be paid in full from the no.3 account’. Attached reports - Change heading of report labelled ‘Publicity’ to ‘Webmaster’ 3. Matters Arising: 3.1 Reports. It was agreed that the new system of the Secretary circulating reports one week prior to the meeting appeared successful. Any item which came up after submission of a report could be brought up at the meeting. 3.2 Hi-Vis Jackets. These were now available 3.3 Proposal for Bus Walks. Fiona said that it was too onerous for the Walks Co- ordinator to organise all the bus walks as well as the normal walking programme. Plans for bus walks had been made by the full committee in the past, not the walks committee. It was suggested that the Bus Convenor should also organise the walks on bus walks. These trips would also need to be organised earlier if additional notice in the programme was required. These suggestions were noted for future discussion. 4. Reports 4.1 Publicity (Report attached). Milngavie Walks Panels. Peter A asked that if anyone from the committee was notified of/invited to the official unveiling of the Milngavie Walks plinth and board they let him know. It was agreed that a heading reading ‘Developed and Funded by Bearsden and Milngavie Ramblers and Hillwalkers’ (or ‘Developed and Funded by Bearsden and Milngavie Ramblers Group’) was preferable to that proposed. However it might be too late for an alteration to be made. Peter A would check. It was agreed to send Andrew Summers and Sue Swinson an official email congratulating them on being selected to carry the Glasgow Commonwealth Games baton. (Bob) 4.2 Bus Convenor (Report Attached). Glencoe. Bookings for the Glencoe trip were now 38. A 49 seater coach had been booked. Bob asked if there was any flexibility in bookings. Could a smaller coach than had been booked be substituted if numbers were lower than expected? Moira said that there was little difference in costs for coach size, as the main cost was the driver’s time. 13 September bus walk. It was agreed that a 49 seater bus should be booked, leaving Milngavie at 8.30am, and returning as late as possible within the driver’s permitted hours. There was some concern that the C walkers might be left in Moffat for a long time whilst waiting for the A walkers to complete their walk. Peter B said this would be taken into consideration when planning pick ups and drop offs. 4.3 Social (Report Attched Christmas Lunch. It was agreed that the Christmas lunch should be at the Glazert Hotel, Lennoxtown on 13 December 2014. Helena would book this. Doreen volunteered to lead the pre-lunch walk, and the new Social Convenor would be asked to organise the mulled wine. AGM Speaker. Helena proposed inviting a speaker on the history of the Central Hotel. This was agreed. Spanish Night. Mugdock was booked for 19 September. Fiona and Moira would co- ordinate this and pass on information for the programme to Peter B by 5 August, and final details to Helena after 10 September. Peter A would include an item will be included in ‘Breaking News’ mid August. Deadline for bookings would be 12 September. Cost approximately £8 – to be confirmed by Moira. Visit to see The Great Tapestry of Scotland in New Lanark. Visit proposed for 21 October 2014. Visit to Coats Observatory. A visit was proposed on 11 November. A maximum of 15 people could be accommodated. Details would be included in the new programme. Christmas Pantomime. It was agreed that no bookings should be made for this year, but this should be discussed at the AGM to see if there was support for attending a panto. Christmas 2015, and if so whether a daytime or evening performance was preferable. 4.4 Treasurer (Report Attached) Moira suggested that a bus booking deadline should be re-introduced. Booking to close two weeks prior to the date of the excursion. This would permit cancellation of the bus if the trip was insufficiently supported to be viable. This was agreed. 4.5 Webmaster (Report Attached) 4.6 Nerja (Report Attached) 4.7 Walks Co-ordinator. Planning of the Autumn and Winter programme had been started, but there had been a slow response from potential leaders. The programme needed to be completed for forwarding to Peter B by 5 August. Mary Darke had volunteered to lead a C walk on the Moffat Big Bus trip. 4.8 Membership (Report Attached) 4.9 Secretary (Report Attached) The items in the secretary’s report were discussed. 1. Milngavie in Bloom (see Access Officer’s report) 2. Bearsden festival – Invitation to take part. As this event would take place on a walk day it was agreed to arrange for some Ramblers leaflets to be displayed. 3. Ramblers Open Meeting, 27 June 2014. It was agreed that the Chairman would email Benedict Southworth and make the following points: o Short notice given regarding the meeting o Lack of consultation regarding the organisation of such a meeting o Inappropriateness of a discussion of Ramblers membership in Scotland when the result of the referendum in September might mean that Ramblers Scotland was no longer part of Ramblers UK. It was agreed that Bearsden and Milngavie Ramblers Group would not be represented at the meeting. 4.10 Chairman (Report Attached) (Correct name of Ramblers Scotland representative to Jeannie Cranfield). 4.11 Access Officer (Report Attached) Imogen said that the report that had been distributed had part of its text missing. The correct version is attached. 5. Area AGM 2015 It was planned to hold the 2015 Area AGM in Milngavie. It was agreed that the Bearsden and Milngavie group would assist with organisation of refreshments and a short walk. 6. Bearsden and Milngavie Ramblers AGM speaker. This was discussed in item 4.3 7. Support for Milngavie in Bloom’s plans for upgrading the West Highland Way Imogen said that Milngavie in Bloom (MIB) were developing a 5 year project to upgrade the local section of the West Highland Way (WHW). They had suggested that B&M Ramblers might like to assist both by volunteering help, and funding. It was agreed that this was a worthwhile project, and B&M Ramblers should support the project in principle. MIB would be asked to supply details of their plan, so that B&M Ramblers could decide what help the group could offer. A note of two volunteer days already arranged would be put on ‘Breaking News’. 8. Funding Proposals Options for use of funding available in the group’s accounts were discussed. MIB – as above Paths maintenance – Bob to approach Kathleen McWhirter about this Printing costs for programmes – Moira to get an estimate A decision of spending these funds was required before 1 September. 9. AOCB IDTags. Moira had produced some sample tags for members to have with them on walks. It was agreed that these were suitable. In addition to the information previously agreed, it was decided to add full address of member and B&M Ramblers charity number. 10. Date of Next meeting Monday 25 August 2014 at Milngavie Community Centre Reports Bus Convenor I was on holiday when the bus to Cowal took place on 7th June and Moira very kindly dealt with this so I am unable to report on this bus. With regard to the Glencoe bus which takes place on 5th July, I have 31 bookings so far. I would suggest we get a Breaking News put on the website to chase up some bookings as it is only about two weeks away. Helen Donnachie 16th June 2014 Social Events Co-ordinator On Friday 16th May 'Ladies Who Lunch” event was held, very successfully, 23 ladies enjoyed their meal and an opportunity to exchange their news and respective opinions. On Tuesday 10th June “Pollok Country Park Tour” was planned. There was not much interest shown and therefore only 3 people were disappointed when the event had to be cancelled due to an extremely inclement weather. Several events are being planned for the programme starting in September. The following events are being suggested and an approval or rejection is being sought during the committee meeting: 19 September : Spanish Night (Mugdock Park Theatre has been already booked for the event by Peter and Moira A.) 21 October: A visit to see The Great Tapestry of Scotland in New Lanark 31 October : AGM A search for a speaker(s) is under way 18 November : A visit to the Coats Observatory in Paisley for Winter viewing night – Telescope viewing. If sky is out of sight Planetarium show is substituted. 13 or 20 December : Christmas Lunch. It is to be held again in the Erskine Bridge Hotel. Particulars are expected from the hotel within next few days. A visit to a pantomime (preferably to the Citizens Theatre for Christmas Carol) is considered but a discussion of an evening attendance is required by the committee. HB 16/6/14 Treasurer’s report 16 June 2014 No 1 a/c - General a/cBalance as at 16 June 2014 - £1170.61. Quarterly funding of £262 and quarterly recce allowance of £55 are due around mid July.

V-* 13EFERKING- to a recent Advertisement, -*-*; in which I assert that all my Black and Coloured Cloths are Woaded—or, in other wards, based with Indigo —a process which,, permanently prevents them from assuming that brownish appearance (daily apparent on the street) which they acquire after being for a time in use. As a guarantee for what I state, I pledge myself that every piece, before being taken into stock, is subjected to a severe chemical test, which in ten seconds sets the matter at rest. I have commenced the Clothing with the fullest conviction that "what is worth doing is worth doing well," to accomplish which I shall leave " no stone untamed" to render my Establishment as much a " household word " ' for Gentlemen's Clothing as it has become for the ' Unique Shirt." I do not for a moment deny that Woaded Cloths are kept by other respectable Clothiers ; but I give the double assurance that no other is kept in my stock—a pre- caution that will, I have no doubt, ultimately serve my purpose as much as it must serve that of my Customers. Nearly 30 years' experience as a Tradesman has convinced " me of the hollowness of the Cheap" outcry ; and I do believe that most people, who, in an incautious moment, have been led away by the delusive temptation of buying ' cheap, have been experimentally taught that ' Cheapness" is not Economy.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Proposed Plan
    West Dunbartonshire Local Development Plan Proposed Plan SEPTEMBER 2013 Foreword Welcome to the Local Development Plan for West Dunbartonshire. This is a plan for challenging economic times. It seeks to strike the correct balance between encouraging the development of our economy and communities whilst protecting the environment that makes West Dunbartonshire an attractive place to live, visit and invest. The Plan has a focus on ‘Our Changing Places’, those areas and sites within West Dunbartonshire where the Council wants or expects to see change. The Plan provides a positive framework to try and get these regeneration sites moving. The Plan identifies land for over 5,000 new houses. It identifies almost 50 hectares of land for new business and industrial uses throughout the authority area, providing opportunities for business and employment growth. It recognises the importance of strengthening our town centres and identifies opportunities within them for over 10,000 sq.m of new retail development. The Plan recognises it is time for the step-change to be made towards a more sustainable future. It sets a framework for renewable energy developments. Development is directed towards locations that can be accessed by public transport and away from areas that may be affected by more frequent and severe flooding. A framework is set to encourage all new development to contribute towards the creation of successful places. Our natural and heritage resources are protected. These include the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site and the Inner Clyde Special Protection Area which are both of international importance. Also protected are 8 Sites of Special Scientific Interest, 48 Local Nature Conservation Sites, the Kilpatrick Hills Local Landscape Area, 5 Conservation Areas and 141 Listed Buildings.

  • The Mining of the Rural Districts of Campsie and Kilpatrick” British Mining No.39, NMRS, Pp.34-44
    BRITISH MINING No.39 BRITISH MINING No.39 MEMOIRS 1989 Skillen, B.S. 1989 “The Mining of the Rural Districts of Campsie and Kilpatrick” British Mining No.39, NMRS, pp.34-44 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1989. ISSN 0309-2199 THE MINING OF THE RURAL DISTRICTS OF CAMPSIE AND KILPATRICK. Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The Campsie and Kilpatrick districts, rural areas to the north of Glasgow, were two very old mining areas, geologically similar and both economically dependant on agriculture and a range of small industries. The exploitation of these districts for coal and also limestone, shared much in common. But there were notable differences and this article sets out to illustrate them. (See Figures 1 and 2). The Kilpatrick district was probably the older area of working, and provides some of the earliest mining references in the general area of Glasgow. There is probably little wonder in this as the deep stream beds of the area provided easily traceable sections of workable deposits. The coal seams lay in close proximity to the local limestone and sandstone, which provided building material, all were easily quarried at outcrop. The early exploitation of coal is shown in the transfer of tenancies and land rights in the district from c1550. The estate records of Hamilton of Barns provide many such examples. Firstly, there was a charter of alienation by Hugh Crawford of Kilbirnie and Drumry in favour of Andrew Hamilton, Captain of Dumbarton Castle and Agnes Crawford his spouse, of the lands of Hutches on and Hole, with the coal seams, in Kilpatrick, dated 12 March 1550.1 A similar document exists dated 20 September 1550.2 The coal could have found use for ordnance work at Dumbarton Castle.

  • The Justice of the Peace Court (Sheriffdom Of
    Document Generated: 2020-09-21 Status: This is the original version (as it was originally made). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format. EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) This Order makes various provision in relation to the establishment of a justice of the peace court (“JP court”) in the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. JP Courts are being established on a Sheriffdom by Sheriffdom basis and have already been established in Lothian and Borders and Grampian, Highland and Islands. Article 2 to the Order specifies that a JP court is to be established in the Sheriff Court District of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. That JP court is to take place in Glasgow. Article 3 disestablishes the district court (established under the District Courts (Scotland) Act 1975) in the Commission Area of Glasgow City Council. The jurisdiction of the District Courts of East Dunbartonshire and South Lanarkshire also extend into the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. This is because the boundaries of those commission areas overlap the boundary of the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. There are regular sittings of those district courts at Kirkintilloch and Rutherglen respectively which both fall within the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. The District Courts of East Dunbartonshire and South Lanarkshire are not disestablished by this Order because to do so would mean that there would be inadequate provision of lower tier summary criminal courts in the Sheriffdom of South Strathclyde, Dumfries and Galloway (which is currently served by the South Lanarkshire District Court in sittings at Hamilton, East Kilbride and Lanark and the district courts for other local authority areas within that Sheriffdom) and in the Sheriffdom of North Strathclyde (which is currently served by the East Dunbartonshire District Court in sitting at Milngavie and the district courts for other local authority areas within that Sheriffdom).
