AN HONORARY member of Helensburgh Heritage Trust was involved in a Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society debate about the restoration of the Art School in Glasgow on Thursday September 25.

Former Argyll and Bute Council reference librarian, author and historian Mike Davis was one of the main speakers in 'Reinstate or Reinvent: A debate on the future of the GSA Mackintosh Library'.

AN EXTRA attraction in the Heritage Centre in Helensburgh Library in West King Street from Sunday September 21 will be a special display by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regimental Museum.

The regiment historically recruited its soldiers from this area, Clydebank and Dunblane, and the exhibition — launched in Callander in July — tells the story of some of the servicemen’s outstanding bravery.

AMERICA'S Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers will induct Helensburgh-born TV inventor John Logie Baird to its Honor Roll at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, California, on October 23.

The Roll of Honor and the list of Honorary Members include US television pioneers such as Zworykin and Farnsworth, also some very big names like Thomas Edison and Walt Disney, plus William Friese-Greene, the UK cine camera pioneer about whom a film — 'The Magic Box' — was made in 1951.
