Before we went, I was asking myself "The Kelvin Hall? Is there even anything to see there?" AYE! What a real treat it was to see everything there - multiple museums and agencies have come together to make the Kelvin Hall a GO TO place for anyone interested in the heritage and history of this part of Scotland. https://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/museums/venues/kelvin-hall
Amazing. Here's all the evidence you need of what we were up to and how it all went...

Hello Folks.
Tomorrow we have a get together at the Concord in Dumbarton. Folk from the Clydebank area now have transport to BIEN, and back home after! A Taxi will turn up for all us Bankies between 11 and 11.30 to take us there. If you're ready for just after 11am, we'll pick you up - we will call at ALL Clydebank members for pickup unless you've told us not to.
We also have the Kelvin Hall (or/and Art Gallery) as a visit on Thursday, so that's one for us to organise at tomorows Get Together!

Yesterday, December 3rd, we were at the Abbotsford Hotel https://www.abbotsfordhotel.com/ for our Xmas lunch.
The Abbotsford is a friendly, well known local Hotel with great traditional cuisine. Due to Patricia input-wizzardry, all our meals were pre-ordered and ready for our arrival. Totally brilliant.
The legendary raffle was held after the legendary meal, and prizes were won. Thank you to all the local talent and businesses who donated prizes for our raffle, and thank you to our Secretary Patricia who is the SOLE organiser of all this stuff!
Here's photos of our day, guest starring Maisie, who came along with Douglas. Thanks to Alex Craig our brilliant photographer for all the portrait work here, and Nazia for the meal and table photographs. (Some pictures include invited guests and Carers) More photos may follow. 😊

Wow, we have even more local contributions to our Raffle!

Well, if you want to know what folk like BIEN get up to, and how we're finding something to enjoy with our condition, look no further than our trip on Thursday to Tenpin in Clydebank. https://www.tenpin.co.uk/our-locations/clydebank/?utm_source=gbp&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gbp_website Three 'strikes' were recorded, and an absoloutely brilliant time was had. From there we walked across a car park to McMonagles for some award winning fish suppers all round. https://www.mcmonagles.co.uk/ Here are photos of our day, which show that our friendship in the community is priceless. (Photos courtesy of Alex Craig Photography, may show Carers)

A thank you and a quick reminder we meet tomorrow!
