With effect from March 2022 the Group has moved venues, and NO LONGER meets in the Fraser Centre.
From March 2022 we meet in:
Baljaffray Parish Church
Grampian Way,
Bearsden
Glasgow
G61 4RN.
The new venue is 2 miles west of Milngavie next to Baljaffray shopping centre where there is plenty of parking.
Meetings are usually on the second Monday of the month at 7.30pm.
During the Covid-19 pandemic the Group has organised meetings online, and may continue to do so from time to time, or may stream talks from the church via Zoom.
Please contact our Meetings Secretary (aboove) for details of the Zoom link for online meetings.
A historical article titled "Memories of the West of Scotland Group of the SRGC"
by A C Small was published in the SRGC Journal No 96 in 1995.

The West of Scotland 2022/23 meetings are a mixture of face-to-face, online using Zoom, or hybrid using both.
Please check with the Convenor to confirm details if you are interested in attending physically or online as these may change at short notice.
Under Type, "Talk(O)" means an online talk, usually via Zoom, "Meet(O)" means a hybrid meeting, either a distant speaker streamed onto the hall screen, or a face-to-face meeting also broadcast on Zoom.
