CHRISTMAS NEWSLETTER 2005
RESIDENTS’ MEMBERSHIP CARDS
By now every household should be in possession of a membership card. If we missed you on our rounds, and you would still like to renew your membership, please contact Flora Frame on 942 6850. She will be more than happy to pass on your details to a committee member who will call to see you at a convenient time.
With your card you can enjoy discounts at 2 of our local restaurants. The West Highland Gate allows Burnbrae Residents a discount of 25% off “a la carte” meals in the restaurant at certain times. If you are seated before 7.30pm from Monday to Thursday and before 630pm on Fridays and Saturdays, you can take advantage of this generous discount on presentation of your card. Please note that no discount is available on Sundays. Each card allows discount for up to 4 diners.
At the Burnbrae Restaurant a discount of 10% of all meals is available at the bar from Monday right through to Sunday, at any time of the day.
Purple Edge Graphics, the Stationers at Bearsden Cross is offering a discount of 10% on most items, ask in store for details.

TRAVELLING LIGHT!
Some of our residents have voiced their concern over cyclists in the area, who either have faulty lights or no lights at all.
Please make sure, for your own safety as well as that of pedestrians and other road users, that your lights are in working order. Also if your children ride bicycles, please check their lights as well.
SENIOR CITIZENS’ CHRISTMAS OUTING
It would appear that the pantomime offer has been a complete sell-out. To those of you, who were lucky enough to get a ticket, enjoy yourselves!!
UPDATE ON PHONE MASTS
As at 11th October, T-Mobile’s application to erect a mast on Milngavie Road was rejected. Des McNulty approached the Scottish Executive on our behalf and was given an assurance that if there is an appeal, the Residents’ Association will be informed.
A site which was acceptable to the Residents’ Association (150m down the road to the Sports Centre) was turned down by the council, as it is on council land. The Residents’ Association feels strongly that the time has come to challenge East Dunbartonshire Council’s policy with regard to their total ban on masts on property or land which is owned by the council.
· As of 2nd November we have learned that T-Mobile have lodged an appeal against the Council’s decision. We will keep you informed of any further developments.
PARKED CARS
I have again been asked to mention the difficulty of parking in our area. Wherever possible we would ask that you park in your drive, although I’m sure everyone appreciates that this is not always feasible. The main concerns must surely be where vehicles are parked on corners, or are double parked - again, we just hope that everyone will be as considerate as possible.
ON BEHALF
OF THE COMMITTEE, I WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND
A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
