President Jim Ballantyne opened the latest meeting of East Kilbride Probus Club and a minute’s silence was held to mark the passing of one of their members, Bill Hood.
Mr Ballantyne then introduced the speaker, Douglas Keith, to talk about the villages of Glasgow with the aid of slides.
The guest speaker, a spry 91, grew up in Cardonald and became a pattern maker to end up as a lecturer at Reid Kerr College in Paisley as well as sitting on the Engineering Industry Training Board representing Scotland.
