Paul Moore is a playwright whose timescale of inspiration parallels the 'Glimpses of Old Glasgow' talk given to the club in January 1901 - and it's the time that many of us recall as our youth. We're talking about getting a 'dizzy' at Boots Corner, wild nights in Clatty Pat's,  Paddy's Market and its closing, the Provy Wummin chappin' the door and the city's hero Benny Lynch...   (events)

OGC's connections with The People's Palace, which opened in 1898, go back to the formation of the club with at least three of its curators being Club Directors. So, what better connection for us to make than have Peter Mortimer former Club President look back at the beginnings of this long relationship. (events) 

More than a few people have written books about, or set in, the Blythswood area of the city but Sara Sheridan is perhaps unique in writing a 'Blythswood' mystery set in the era in which the Old Glasgow Club was born. It's intriguing that the 'Secrets... ' she unveils might even be the secrets of some of our early members - you might want to check if your forebearers' names are mentioned...   (events) 

Colin Mackie is constantly turning up new facts and connections around The Southern Necropolis - is he going to find a whole troop of early mebers interred there - or maybe people who might have wanted to be members...

In 2008 The Metropolitan Police was ordered to remove its claim that it was the oldest police force in the world. That claim, by right, was Glasgow's. In 1800 Glasgow achieved an Act of Parliament enabling the establishment of a force and the city appointed John Stenhouse to organise and recruit the officers. The Met was set up 29 years later. Alastair Dinsmor leads Glasgow's Police Museum.  (events) 

'Doon the Water' meant something different to the OGC members of 1906. In that summer they chartered a yacht, The Jupiter, to visit the newly opened Ardkinglas estate on the shores of Loch Fyne. We live in different times and for modern members 'Doon the Water' is linked only to The Waverley. Iain Quinn is its historian.  (events) 

A man, a camera and a passion, Colin M Drysdale traipses round the city looking up, looking down, looking over, looking under and even looking between - the results are 'This is My Glasgow', the much followed Facebook page, and now this new book Glasgow Uncovered - Eighteen Walks Through its Past, Present and Future   (events)
