JOIN us as we take a trip down memory lane to reminisce about what was happening in Clydebank fifteen years ago.
We have delved into the Post’s archives to pick out some stories from over a decade ago.
Here are some photographs from our edition published on Wednesday, June 18, 2008.
Do you remember these stories or spot any familiar faces?
1. Dedicated primary school headteacher given emotional send-off
A dedicated primary school headteacher was given an emotional send-off by her pupils as she prepared to retire.
Celia Cameron had been in charge at Garscadden Primary in Yoker for 15 years and was left shocked when a surprise celebration tea party was put on by all of the children.
Miss Cameron was presented with a bouquet of flowers, a commemorative quaich, and a gift voucher.
2. Daring couple take on 1,000-mile tandem bike ride
A daring couple took on a tandem 1,000-mile bike ride with one acting as the eyes, and the other as the ears.
Bob and Louise Nolan, who are deaf and blind, were told by their son that they were “mad” for deciding to cycle from Lands End to John O’Groats.
The couple completed the gruelling challenge in a bid to raise as much money as possible for charity Deafblind Scotland.
3. Smiles on sports day
It was all smiles at Yoker Primary as the kids got the chance to take part in the annual sports day.
Pupils at the school, located on Craggan Drive, enjoyed a day of traditional events including the sack race.
Parents and friends also came along for the occasion.
4. Search for next tennis star launched
The search for the next Andy Murray was underway with a series of coaching sessions across Clydebank.
Search for Tennis Star – organised by West Dunbartonshire Council’s active schools' coordinator – toured ten primary schools in the town with coaches from Milngavie Tennis Club giving top-class coaching to all primary four pupils.
Youngsters at Clydemuir and Kilbowie primaries were showing off their newfound skills.
5. Lots to trumpet about at summer fete
Clowns, elephants, and princesses were just a few of the sights in Old Kilpatrick at its annual summer fete.
Revellers donned costumes to mark the occasion at the Old Kilpatrick and Bowling Church.
Clydebank Burgh Band led a parade and the entertainment continued with a variety of games and stalls.
6. Back to nursery
It was all smiles at a Clydebank nursery when some familiar faces stopped by.
Primary one pupils from Edinbarnet, in Faifley, went back to see their old nursery friends and teachers.
The youngsters went along to Lennox Early Education Centre as part of their integration into the big school and enjoyed taking some time out from learning to have fun.
