Allotments & ships
We've had an email to let us know that Queens Park allotments are having an open day this coming Saturday from 12 - 4. Being a keen gardener - (I have a ton of mini veg growing in pots in my stairwell and on my roof) I look forward to seeing some proper gardeners, wonder if they will have any giants turnips.
We've also been chatting with the GSSMS (Glasgow south ship modellers society) who are having a 100th birthday party for the duck/ boating pond in Queens Park on Sunday the 19th from 11 - 4. We spoke to the council who are backing the event and they sent us the below information:

I have good memories of going down to the pond with my grand parents, when I was a kid, to watch the model boats. Might go along and reminisce.
Great site
