Eight members of the Optimists Group at Garrell Vale Community Centre visited the Society on Thursday 4th February 2016 to show and explain the background to the creation of the "Kilsyth Quilt". Marion McBride, Anne Russell and Violet Gourlay described in speech and verse how it was made as part of the members' participation in the Discovery Awards programme. A presentation of photographs from around Kilsyth focused on scenes which inspired the panels in the quilt. The visit was warmly received and appreciated by the members of the Society present.
