(Slightly) Spooky Stories at Wemyss Bay Station

Friends of Wemyss Bay Station are delighted that Inverclyde Libraries are running two children’s story sessions in the gallery space at the station bookshop in the run-up to Halloween. Any child coming to the sessions can choose a free book from the shop and pick up a free badge and bookmark.

Both sessions will run on Thursday 23rd October.

From 10.30-11.00 am there will be a ‘Bookbug’ session for pre-schoolers.

And for primary school students, an after-school session at 3.30-4.30 pm. The bookshop opens Mon-Sat 10am-4pm.

Contact: Agnes McAuley, FOWBS Membership Secretary on 07905 553718.

FOWBS is wholly volunteer-run. Bookshop manager Simon Dell said:

“If the sessions at the shop prove popular, we’d hope to repeat them and we’re glad Inverclyde Libraries is giving it a go.”

Nancy Cameron 1941 - 2024

Nancy’s funeral will be at the
Clyde Coast & Garnock Valley Crematoriam

16 Oct at 12 noon.

We are very sad to announce the passing of our founder member Nancy Cameron.

Nancy was the driving force behind the establishment of the Friends in 2009, and chaired the organisation for its first 6 years to 2015. She was from then on our Honorary President.

Nancy steered the establishment of the flower displays, the bookshop, the station garden and many other aspects of the work we see today

Our thoughts are with her husband Dugald, and her sister Sheena, at this difficult time.
