Motion text

That this House congratulates all those involved in the production of the Maryhill Activity Directory, following the launch of its tenth edition during its 21st anniversary year on Friday 22 March 2024 at a special event in the Mackintosh Halls on Shakespeare Street in the Maryhill area of Glasgow; recognises that the directory, which began as a short list of events and community organisations on a single sheet of paper in 2003, has grown to become a full-colour, 42-page A5 brochure with over 600 listings and contact details for a wide range of groups, churches, sports organisations, voluntary services, elected representatives and more across Maryhill and beyond; notes that in addition to the printed directory, a regularly updated website and app has also been produced in recent years; further notes in particular the important role of Deacon Jim Hamilton of Maryhill Parish Church in the development of the directory throughout its history; pays tribute to Jim and all the volunteers who have helped to make the directory a reality, and extends its thanks to all the organisations who provide the services and activities features in the directory, and wishes all those involved every success for many years to come.
