Iain Glass

I am heartbroken to advise you of the sudden death of my brother Iain.


Iain (74) passed away suddenly but peacefully at home with his family beside him on Friday 25th October 2024.

This is a devastating loss to Helen and Stewart, as well as Stewart’s partner Cheryl and their children Orla and Islay who have lost a beloved granda.


As I write this Christine and I find it hard to believe that he has gone. Iain was my brother and my best friend, he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Iain’s funeral will be held at Clydebank Crematorium (Dalnottar) on

Tuesday 12th November 2024 at 2.30pm

I’m sure all the Ex Members will be shocked to hear this and send their deepest sympathies to the whole family at this sad time.

Iain was a very good friend to many over the years and was a gentle giant. He will be missed throughout the Bowling and Pipeband / Music worlds to name a few.

Photo / Video appeal

Just a quick request if you have video or photographs of Friday nights successful evening, can you please send them to me on secretary’s email address?

I have photos via WhatsApp and Facebook but the quality reduces on these platforms.

I have one photo of the stair group photo but it’s not the clearest.

There was another camera used if that could be sent I’d be greatly appreciative.

I’ll post up all the photos together once I get them.

Many thanks

Alan

Centenary Civic Reception Update

1924-2024

As all preparations for Friday nights Civic Reception come together I thought I’d remind everyone of the details.

Start Time 7pm – Glasgow City Chambers Main Entrance.

Alasdair MacKay has kindly volunteered to pipe everyone in from 6.45 – 7.05pm with a selection of Alex M.MacIver tunes.

No e ticket or print off of your invitation is required.

Please wear a shirt and tie. (BB tie if you have one.)

No payment is required – though I’m sure our goodly Treasurer Stephen will happily accept any donations towards our Centenary Fund.

Drinks on arrival.

Thanks to everyone who has replied and looks as if it will be a healthy attendance.

Our thoughts are with those who unfortunately aren’t able to attend.

Here’s to another great 214 evening of memories and friendship.
