GMBC on TV, tonight!

They’ll be showing our footage from the other week at Cathkin Braes (I assume). Set your digiboxes to record so you can have a giggle at some dodgy skillz. Hopefully it’ll be on STV player later to catch up with.

Saturday social

  By ,

Blue sky and sunshine forecast for Saturday, so 10am at the club for those coming for breakfast at the Carbeth Inn at 11am. I phoned the Inn and bacon rolls, tea, coffee, Guinness will be on the menu from 11am. At a rough guess I would think lunch will prob be at the Swan Inn, Lennoxtown about 1.30 – 2pm for those joining later. 🙂
