One of the great things about volunteering is that sometimes you just get to work in some of the most exciting events and in some of the most fantastic weather. More importantly though is that you get to work with some exceptional people.  Here’s to the Southside Festival and everyone who is taking part.  Have a great day!

Here is a collection of images related to the laying out of the festival site.  Everything should be in place for the launch.  Don’t forget to follow the procession.. and join us in the Recs.  The weather is going to be fantastic.

Southsiders prepare for a sunny weekend of festival fun | Going Out | Glasgow | STV.

If you were down in the Langside Bar Last night there was a good chance you would have taken part in the Big Southside Festival Quiz.  If not you must have been in for the food cause its great.  Thanks to Paul, the quiz master, for asking some difficult questions and applying his own unique brand of humor.

In response the teams responded with their own unique blend of heckle and then the  laughter followed – my side are still splitting!  Seven teams took part but only six finished as one team ‘The Office’ split after the first round.  Being privy to the score sheet I’m surprised they even handed their answer sheet in for the first round.

Anyway, that then left six teams to compete and as the barriers broke down the competitive nature of all involved became more apparent.  Oh the jeers!… Oh the cheers…!  As each answer was read out each team felt that they had gained a competitive advantage over the other.  No more so than the SG’s.

These guys had everything to gain and nothing to loose as they tried to win lottery tickets that were up for grabs as one of the many prizes on offer.  Hats of to them as they will try anything to raise funds in order to give the people of the Southside the festival they deserve.

As it happened the SG’s and their superior intellect won the quiz with a remarkable 45 points. They also won a lottery ticket but didn’t win the lottery – awe well that’s life.

Hats off also to ‘Beagle Mania’ who came a close second, on 38 points.  These guys also won the Big Bear and named him Wilson then in the spirit of the evening donated him to the barman who instantly fell in love with the big cuddly ball of fluff.

The team in third place with 37 points was ‘Lucy and the Bear’ and yes you guessed it this bears eyes are farther apart.

Interestingly, the bear (the one in the photo not the other bear) has some significance as it related to the top prize of the night.  Two invites (yes invites) to a mystery party in the Glasshouses following the festival with a mystery band. It would be more than my life’s worth if I told what the relationship between Lucy, the Bear (the one with the eyes) and the band but I’m sure it will come out in time.

Anyway, as it happens ‘Still Not Given Me a Name Yet’ were the lucky winners of the invites and many other prizes on the night.  Just look at those happy faces. Well done and we hope you had a safe journey home.

Right.  That leaves us with the two teams that were joint last ‘the Bar Staff’ and the one and only ‘Gruesome Twosome’.  Fortunately the Bar staff had an excuse – they were working!  The Gruesome Twosome however battled to the end and happily took away one of the other lottery tickets but like the SG’s were disappointed that the numbers didn’t come up.  Better luck next time girls – you rock!

Hope to see everyone at the Festival this coming Saturday. Cheers SSF
