In Glasgow's 850th year - come along and find out more about the past, present and future of our city!
Entry is £5 per talk. Should you chose to join the Old Glasgow Club, this will be deducted from the annual membership fee of £35.
Upcoming 2025 Programme:
Thursday 13th February: A Strange Affray In Crosshill - Dr Alisa Boyd
Imagine, in lock-down, you decided to research who’d built your house only to discover it was at the centre of a strange affray which ended with a police constable dead and a medical student in custody. That’s what happened to Dr Ailsa Boyd as she researched architect Robert Duncan.
Thursday 13th March: The Hampden Collection - Graeme Brown
Of course Glasgow invented the beautiful passing game of football. Sheffield might argue the toss (as might Edinburgh) but Graeme Brown of the Hampden Collection will refute their claims citing the many colossal defeats inflicted on the Auld Enemy in those early years.
Thursday 10th April: Lost Glasgow - Norrie Gibson
The whole raison d’etre of the OGC is to bear witness to the changes in the city so who better to round off our year than Norrie Wilson. In his own words Norrie, ‘spat the dummy’ after 14 years of writing the Memories page in the Evening Times and created something new; Lost Glasgow.
Additional Dates: 13 March 2025, 10 April 2025
