Clydebank Local History Society
The society was founded in 1977. Its aim is to create greater awareness of the history, culture, and heritage of Clydebank and to encourage the preservation, development, and improvement of features of general public amenity and historic interest. Visitors and new members are always welcome. A series of illustrated talks is held from October to March. Each year the Society arranges a bus outing to a place of historical interest. The Society has been closely associated with Clydebank Museum since its inauguration in March 1980 and members staff the museum on a voluntary basis.
Croy Historical Society
Croy Historical Society was formed by a group of villagers and former villagers with the aim of identifying, documenting, cataloguing and preserving all available material of local historical interest to Croy village and district. The Society is registered as a Scottish Charity. Twice monthly meetings with talks are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month from 13.00 till 15.00. Talks and lectures are delivered from time to time as advertised and our speakers will give talks to schools and other organisations on request.
Friends of Kinneil
The Friends of Kinneil charity has been set up to help promote and develop Kinneil Estate and Foreshore in Bo’ness. Anyone interested can join this Scottish charity. There’s a small charge to cover our administrative costs. In return we’ll invite you to events, and help you get involved in work to improve these important parklands.
Lambhill Stables
Lambhill Stables opened its doors in June 2011. It is a centre point for the community, providing local residents with the opportunity to take part in a range of recreational and occupational activities, and to access a range of educational resources to develop their potential as active citizens. Lambhill Stables actively encourages schools visits, by providing a stimulating educational environment which is an enjoyable way for children to learn about the cultural heritage of the area and gain a better understanding of environmental issues.
The Antonine Guard
The Antonine Guard welcomes new members to all sections of its work: military or civilian. Come along to our next event and speak to us about the benefits of being involved with the Guard. We pride ourselves on our open and friendly atmosphere, and make sure that we have a lot of fun in the process of fulfilling our aims. If you have an interest in the Roman Army and are keen to get stuck in, then contact us to discuss membership options. Membership is open to all those able to comply with our rules and constitution.
Young Archaeologists Club
The Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC) is the only UK-wide club for young people aged up to 17 interested in archaeology. The club is run by the Council for British Archaeology (CBA), an educational charity working for 70 years to promote ‘Archaeology for All’. YAC’s vision is for all young people to have opportunities to be inspired and excited by archaeology, and to empower them to help shape its future. YAC Branches offer hands-on activities for young people aged 8 up to the age of 17. There are 65 YAC Branches across the UK. Most meet once a month, usually on a Saturday, and they are a great way to learn more about archaeology in your area and make new friends. To find out more about what Branches do, how you can get involved and volunteering opportunities visit the YAC Branch page on the YAC website.
