From the President:

Hei alle sammen!

This year the Scottish Norwegian Society(Glasgow) was delighted to have successfully hosted CoScan’s Annual General Meeting. This year it was in Stirling. Also, this AGM coincided with our annual SNS Ventures Forth event and so we enjoyed a Stirling Castle visit with a tremendous guide and afterwards, visited the Old Stirling Jail.

Included in the Past Events section of our website is a report on the CoScan AGM, The Stirling Jail visit as well as the Stirling Castle visit... with links to Facebook pictures.

But on to this season!
We've a fun & interesting packed syllabus. First in September we will be screening a Norwegian Film with English sub-titles. Please make sure you at our usual venue as we have a 7:30 PM prompt start of the film.
The October talk will have an account of "How Woodhaven Became a Wee Bit of Norway " during WWII. This will be followed by an intruging adventure into fact, fiction or maybe friction between Norway & Sweden during WWII.

Of course, our highly popular Julebasar will take place as usual in the Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church Hall, Saltoun St, Glasgow (off Byers Road). Mark your calenders for Saturday 16th November! The Christmas Party follows that in December, again at our usual place of the High School Glasgow in Anniesland.

Next year starts off in January with our usual Musical Interlude conducted by our talented Vice-President, Thomas. This is followed by the Oddveig Røsegg Memorial Lecture this year presented by Espen Selvik, MSc, Historian, Conductor, Composer & talented percusion artist! He will be describing where the start of the Norwegian Democratic model began close to Bergen. In March we go north to hear about 3 trips from Campbell Russell as he explored "North of the Artic Circle"!

I hope that whets your appetite. We will of course, bring more details of the other events as they come closer.

Don't forget to checkout Facebook or the rest of the website for dates and times of all these events!

Hilsen/Regards
