A special thanks to all of the knitters who took part in our #KnittingChallenge to create 180 bells to celebrate our 180th school anniversary.
We were delighted to welcome those who could make it along to our coffee morning today.
Thanks so much for your time and hard work!
Today, on the 160th anniversary of The Glasgow Academical Club, it was lovely to receive this great donation of a Barbarians signed shirt from c. 2000.

A few weeks ago we had a visit from some former #Westbourne pupils who shared memories of their #SchoolDays with us during an oral history session. We were also kindly donated some items for our school #archive too.
Thanks ladies, we had a wonderful time!
Dating from the 1920s, this lovely framed photo with antique @BootsUK art dept label shows staff and pupils from Westbourne Garden School, including the two Misses Nielson's - one was Headmistress, the other was a languages teacher.

We are always very grateful to receive donations to the archive.
Last week, Carol kindly gifted several items belonging to her late father Colin, including (amongst other things) this wonderful sports cap. We do not have another example like it, so we are delighted!
