The Friends of Clackmannanshire Museum and Heritage Service will hold their Christmas event at 7.30pm on Wednesday 3rd December in the Tommy Downs Room, Alloa Town Hall.
This year there will be two talks - an entertaining presentation given by Andrew Skelton about his experiences of working for Historic Scotland at Castle Campbell, followed by Susan Mills on the too-little known Alloa architect George Kerr, a contemporary of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose surviving work includes St John's Primary School, formerly the Grange School, Abbey National Building Society in Mill Street, designed as Mario Fusco's fondly remembered Soda Fountain Bar, Alloa Co-op Bowling Club Pavilion and the cookery school flat in the old Alloa Academy Infant School in Ludgate. There will also be some short seasonal readings and music.
A buffet supper and a fundraising raffle will follow the talks. The Friends want to encourage more people to join them, so would like to welcome anyone who has never attended one of these events before.
If you would like to come along to this event but are not a member, please contact Susan Mills at Clackmannanshire Council Museum and Heritage Service, Speirs Centre, Primrose Street, Alloa (01259 216913).
