Another One!

Another One? Twice in one week? After neglecting to Blog for so long?   I ask you? What is the special occasion? Must be something important. YES.

Open Doors 2010 was a success, for all of Glasgow I believe, it was certainly a good turn out here at KH. Despite the fact a 'little' more rain fell on Sunday we still had an incredibly diverse and interesting day.

However to the reason for blogging so soon; I have just confirmed the 'Festive Trumpets' Concert, here in KH on Saturday 9th.October. Make sure it's in your diaries, a concert which is a little different from the mostly choral ones we've held  before.

Those of you who attended the Re-dedication Service for the Teacher Memorial Window back in April 2009, will surely remember the haunting notes of the Last Post, played by Mark O'Keeffe, Principal Trumpet with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.


I said then that I hoped that we would hear him play again in the Church. Hurrah! and he's bringing some friends, Hedley Benson, Co-Principal Trumpet and also Walter Blair who will play the Willis Organ. Definitely one to look forward to.

The snow held off this morning and the Contractors were hopeful of taking down 4 'flights' of scaffold before Christmas. however it was deemed too dangerous for that this morning. 'What about the weather vane?' I asked. 'Well we;ll see how it is the afternoon and we've got a back-up with the Steeplejacks if necessary' said Hunter & Clark. Off I went on errands and on my return driving along Queen Margaret Drive I noticed that the scaffold around Oran Mor had been taken down and then I noticed a 'High -vis' figure on top of our Fleche which clothed in its scaffold looks a bit like a pineapple over the roof tops of Grosvenor Terrace. Once it was safe to do so, I of course took photos of Archie and Craig tackling the re-installation of our very own 'Chanticleer' All this was of course whilst the snow was coming down again. Hard! However the Task was successfully accomplished. Thank You both, very much. It is much appreciated by all of us at ...

Re-Dedication Service

The clean-up team have been in this week! Many thanks to them---they know who they are! The Sanctuary is looking much cleaner and shinier now. Final clean-up on Friday! We are all looking forward to the Service on Saturday which Alastair Cherry will conduct, lots of people have said they are able to come and the weather forecast is favourable. One little word, the Church is still technically a Building Site, So please pay heed to the advice of the Stewards and remain on the permitted side of any roped-off areas. Hard Hats will not be neccessary.

Return from the brink?!

Don't do it! It does seem a little strange, but I think this is the second photo of this very hardworking person "up close and personal" with a window. Although the last time we managed to have the window brought down from on high for her close inspection. Whatever, the gist of all this is; that this particular property owned by the Congregation is now ready for a new tenant. As explained during the 'At-Home Sessions' this will be an extra source of income for the Congregation. A lot of work by a lot of people has gone into achieving this, and cleaning the windows on a glorious Autumn afternoon has been just part of it.
