Castle Craig Gala 30th June 2012


The Castle Craig Gala Day, generously donated by Companions Margaret Ann and Peter McCann, is a wonderful event for the disabled in rural Peebleshire and will be supported by people from the Margaret Blackwood Housing Association and Dial-a-Journey. Most of the activities, including riding, clay-pigeon shooting and of course eating and drinking require a lot of help from volunteers so all Companions are asked to come along and help - it is always a wonderful day.
You can find Castle Craig here and a car or minibus will bring some Companions down from Glasgow.

Feast of St John Ogilvie - March 9th (antic.)


We are anticipating the Feast of St John Ogilvie SJ by having two events for Companions the day before: either come to the College Mass at 9 a.m (Missa Cum Jubilo, Hallelujah Chorus, Since by Man came Death, Ogilvie Hymn) followed by breakfast, or come to the lunch at 12.30 in Viva.

Serata Africana


The February 2012 Companions will have their Serata Africana in VIVA, Bothwell St, Glasgow, on Tuesday 20th March at 7p.m. Please make sure I have your photographs by then so that we can project them in the course of the evening. Dinner will be about £15 depending on what you order. I will get the drinks. Please let me know how many of your family will be coming so that I can alert Marco, who is kindly giving us the whole back room as usual.
