@WednesdayRob Hello from the "Gartcosh Owls" - longtime fan @CatherineSlater and myself, adoptive fan since we married (almost 30 years since we were top of the league for our wedding). The shouting here for the news & the goals gave our youngest a bit of a fright! #wawaw #uto

Belated entry to #clergymaltclub after falling asleep on the actual night. Then again before I could pour myself one the next night, and deciding to wait till I had the next set of services done (today)! Blessings all.

[Dave Slater 💙 The Droning Minister @daveslate]

Never actually got to joining #clergymaltclub as I fell asleep! A pleasure delayed. One more service this morning anyway. Well done all. Christ is born!

@fesshole Our latest reorganisation produced this wonderful acronym. https://t.co/aZ3vW5DLHq
I think we are all pretending we don't know what else it could mean, and that is why it has lasted so long...

@Glasgow_Times Wow, it must have been great to study there when it was @trinityglasgow ... Campaign to buy it back starts here? 😂

On behalf of CCPG, last week myself (@daveslate the Droning Minister) and another member took some time to play and film a 'lament' for the loss of place and the pain of memories felt by members, worshippers and community, in front of the remains of the #StMungos building.

A great day @PipingLive #BigBand with 6 of us plus supporters, and maybe a volunteer as well. #bagpipes #drums #pipinglive #worldsweek

A huge WELL DONE to @GlenboigPrimary chanter learners, for the end of term service! (Even if I got my own breathing a bit wrong!).
Please try to find chanters missing at home & keep practising over the summer, so you aren't starting from scratch in Aug/Sep! Jim will be pleased!

[Cumbernauld Community Piping Group @CCPG2023]

Drookit but a great time. Travel on a bus, then piped Gala Queen & party to the stage, when rain set in!
Indoors drier; more tunes upstairs. CCPG has come far in <2 years. To be an actual band, any drummers want to join us?! Or more pipers?
Thanks to organisers for inviting us!

Happy Sunday everyone! Looking forward to Sat 14th June, Cumbernauld Gala Day, when the group get together to lead the parade around Cumbernauld Town Centre from B&M to Tesco roundabout, down to North Carbrain Road along to the Town Hall, march off 11.30! #cumbernauld #galaday

I know it doesn't really count at this time of year but somehow finishing off my #HighlandPark seems appropriate for #clergymaltclub #ChristisRisen #MinisterisGoosed Happy Easter everyone!

In 1945, six women pulled off a computing miracle.

Then, a SINGLE assumption erased them from tech history for decades.
