Christmas Shopping Evening 2018


 On the 20th November, Friends enjoyed the annual Christmas Shopping Evening in Kelvingrove, courtesy of the Kelvingrove staff, cafe and the shop.
As well as our glass of fizz and mince pie we enjoyed a raffle, 25% off in the shop, a musical recital and a talk on the exhibition “Brushes with War”.  Some friends also toured the exhibition.  A busy night!
The music was provided by our Honorary member Dr Jim Hunter and Douglas Lawrence on the fiddle. Douglas was introduced as “the best fiddler in the country” and he certainly was!

The highlight of the evening came when Dr Hunter presented Chairman, Liz Dent, with a piece of music which he had composed specially for the Friends. It is a lovely tune which we enjoyed very much and hope to be able to play often at Friends’ events

I don’t think there are many Friends’ organisations which have their own theme tune!!
