Our next meeting is at 10:30 a.m. on the 6th of March in Neilston Bowling Club, where we'll be having our usual breakfast roll and hot drink followed by a visit from Kerry Cameron from East Renfrewshire Community Learning and Development. Kerry will be giving us a class on Strength and Balance for Men (nae leotards please).
Some things we're looking at for later in the year are:
Going to see The Spirit of Bad Company & Free at the Eastwood Theatre in March
a tour of Glasgow Central Station
a tour of the Glasgow Necropolis
a visit to Dean Castle Country Park

We had our usual breakfast roll, drink and chat in Neilston Bowling Club for a breakfast roll and hot drink.
Kerry Cameron from East Renfrewshire Community Learning and Development then gave us an introductory Strength and Balance for Men class, which I think we all appreciated and Kerry might have got a few more recruits for her Thursday sessions at 12:30 p.m. in Neilston Leisure Centre.
More photos have been added to the original web page about this here.
