Castlemilk Family Day

With all this talk of the Southside Festival, we almost forgot to tell you about another important day in the Southside Calender. On Saturday [16th May] Castlemilk are holding their annual family day. There are event's all over Castlemilk on Saturday so if your in the area, stop by and see what's going on. I really like the fact that the Southside has so many community events happening through out the summer..like Bungo in the Lanes, Govanhill festival, and Govan Fair - to name just a few. We have put most of these events in our calender but if we've missed any let us know.

* As far as I know there will be no balloon performances like the one in the photo...sorry

Legends of the Oche

We have another one of those grey area posts but it is such an exciting occurrence we felt we had to let people know about it.

The reason for the grey area is should our scope include Rutherglen? It is south of the Clyde but it is a little in the far east - not quite land of the rising sun but close to the horizon. The Northern boundary is easy but how far East, West and indeed South should we be going? What do people think?

Anyway the reason we raise this discussion is because we picked up a flyer for upcoming events at Rutherglen Town hall and amongst a range of different events including Dr Bunheads crash test jelly babies, a Patsy Cline concert and a festival for people who are "young at heart" we discovered a night entitled "Legends of the Oche".

"Bobby George, John Lowe and Eric Bristow take to the stage at Rutherglen Town Hall for an evening of darts like never before!

Don't miss your chance to play one of the legends and enjoy the competition when they go head to head. Two hours of great entertainment, hear their true stories, ask them questions, and witness their incredible dart skills live on stage."

I know, how exciting is that, brings back memories of the mid 80's and old episodes of Bullseye - Everything about Darts as a sport is funny, from the brilliant commentators, the speedboats on Bullseye, the crazy WAGS dressed in a ton of Argos gold chains right down to the central concept of very large men throwing very small sharp objects, accurately at a tiny target. Should be a very original and fun night out.

I only have one word for it.

"Magic darts"

EDIT: We just found out that the show has been delayed until the 15th of July - boo I was looking forward to going to that this weekend.
