M&B Mens Shed

Snow covered Pagoda at King George V park.  Future home of the M&B Mens Shed

 

Interesting talk tonight from Hamish Livingstone through snippets of his life as a shepherd's son to joining he police and rising to a DI and onto one of his current roles as the secretary of Milngavie and Bearsden Men's Shed who have an increasing membership and working towards their home in the pagoda at King George V park at Killermontt.

They have a 25 year lease agreed with EDC.   Main issue that is preventing access is the need to get rid of the pigeons and their droppings.  The building has been empty for 25 years
