SOCIAL PROGRAMME
Welcome Reception
The Welcome Reception will be held at the stunning Glasgow City Chambers.
A grand and imposing edifice overlooking George Square, the City Chambers is an impressive symbol of Glasgow’s political strength and historical wealth. Completed in 1888, the City Chambers has for over a hundred years been the headquarters of successive councils serving the City of Glasgow.
Following the Welcome Reception there is a great selection of excellent restaurants to choose from in the Merchant City.

Conference Dinner
The Conference Dinner will be held at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
Recently refurbished, it is the largest civic museum and art gallery in the UK, with collections of international importance.
Kelvingrove is a very special museum. For generations of people from Glasgow and the surrounding neighbourhoods, it has a deep, personal significance linked with every stage of their lives. Visits to ‘the art galleries’ are highlights of childhood memories; many people did their courting there; parenthood and grandparenthood see the cycle begin again.

Ben Lomond
On the Sunday after the meeting some of the organisers will be taking a well-earned break by climbing Ben Lomond, one of the most beautiful hills in Scotland. Delegates and friends are welcome to join them on this unofficial event. There is a well-trodden path to the summit but the mountain is 974 metres high and so both walking boots and reasonable fitness are required. Ben Lomond is the most southern Munro in Scotland.
There will be no charge for this other than for local transport.
Please register your interest by emailing Celia Lloyd at: contact@nrm2010.org
In the event of adverse weather conditions , always possible in a Scottish summer, an alternative activity will be organised
