Events

Strathblane Heritage organises six events every winter, on the third Monday of September, October, November, January, February and March, all at 7.30pm in our lovely Village Club at 20-22 Glasgow Road Blanefield – https://villageclub1911.org/

All are welcome: membership costs just £15 a year entitling you to free access to all events. To join Strathblane Heritage, just come along to one of our events or contact us using the contact form on this website. Guests are equally welcome upon payment of a £4 admission fee. Please note that the club’s seated capacity is 90 people and it’s advisable to arrive in good time to be sure of a seat.

The normal format is for a speaker or speakers to make a presentation of an hour, followed by Q&A and then tea and biccies. Our topics vary considerably, as you can see from this list of future and past event presentations – but they must all have in common that they shed a light on meaningful events in our parish, and are entertainingly presented.
