Merry Christmas

A Merry Christmas from everyone at the Greenhill Historical Society.

The GHS will be back in action on the 10th January 2014.

Usual venue, usual time.

Hope to see you then.

Next Meeting

Our next meeting is on Friday 8th November 2013 between 2 - 4pm.

We will be meeting in the Library and NOT the Scout Hall.

This is due to work being carried out in our usual venue.

For those of you who cannot visit or join us on a Friday afternoon, there is an evening meeting.

Visit us in the Library on Thursday the 14th November between 6-8 pm.

The topic for the evening will be Rollo Engineering.

You DO NOT have to arrive for 6pm and don't have to stay until 8pm.

Just pop in and say hello!

 

Magazine

The new edition of 'Bonnyseen' is now available to view online at our web site.

www.greenhillhistoricalsociety.org.uk

To go directly to the Bonnyseen page:

 http://www.greenhillhistoricalsociety.org.uk/Bonnyseen.htm

I (web master) am still working on the web site. The contact details are on the web page. If there is anything you would really like to see on the web site, please email at that email address.

We have launched the new Bonnyseen magazine. 

There was a wonderful turnout with all seats filled.

Thanks to everyone who came.

If your article did not appear this time, it will appear in a future issue. We have had such a great response from people sending stories and photos that we simply ran out of space to fit it all in. This shows us that everyone is enjoying the magazine and our time and effort is being rewarded.

Many thanks also go to John Reid, who gave us a talk on the Baronies of Seabegs and Castlecary. (Seabegs being of particular interest to several of our group members!)

 

Bonnyseen Magazine Lauch

GHS will be launching the new edition of Bonnyseen on 

Wednesday 23rd October 2013

 

 Launch night will be in the Community Centre from 7-9pm

There will be a talk by John Reid on Seabegs and Castlecary.

This was the talk we should have had in April, but due to John having lost his voice, the planned talk was changed to a most interesting film, by John, on Kincardine and Tulliallan.

There will be a raffle and an a small exhibition of some of our archive items and photos. (and some 'nibbles')

It will be a pleasant and informative night out and everyone, of any age, is most welcome.

So come and join us. You never know what you might find out.....and you might be able to shed some light on some of the history of Bonnybridge.

Oh......I nearly forgot.......if you can't pick up a magazine (FREE) you can also view them online for FREE. The new magazine will also be on the website (eventually) at www.greenhillhistoricalsociety.org.uk and click on Bonnyseen!

WEB SITE

The website has now been re-launched. 

 www.greenhillhistoricalsociety.org.uk

It has taken a bit of time and there is not much, in the way of content, there for now. I cleared everything for the time being, as it was imperative to try and get the Bonnyseen magazines viewable online, and that was my main aim.

I was making sure that bit worked without being hampered by the rest. Now that I know that works, I can now put back the pages.

The next item on the agenda will be the new magazine.

At Last!

Web Site

The website  - www.greenhillhistoricalsociety.org.uk  - might not be viewable for now.

This is due to the site being transferred from one web master to another.

Please be patient whilst this is occuring.

The site is under 're-construction' and some items might not be included

whilst other additional and new items might be.

Thanks to Mike Robinson for all his time and effort in building

and maintaining the website over the past few years.
