Will pop along for this…..
January Meeting
Tuesday 21st January: 7pm: Abbeyview Bowling Club
Film "Snowdrops for the Bairns", introduced by Leah Gunn Barrett
This film shows how, after the terrible shooting of children and teachers at Dunblane, the Snowdrop Campaign was successful in getting U.K. gun laws toughened up to make it much less likely that such a tragedy could be repeated. Just one example of Scotland leading the way.
Bar, tea, coffee, biscuits. Free entry. All welcome. Bring friends.
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

No reflection on the excellent work initiated by the Snowdrop Campaign, however I suspect a root and branch review of the Firearms Act 1968 was inevitable after the tragic events at Dunblane.
The reform lobby were pushing against an open door.

That sounds like it will be very interesting, cheers. The only good thing to come out of the tragedy was the way people came together to try and get legislation like this in place to help lessen the chances of it happening again.
It`s a pity the masonic cover up prevents us learning the full story for 100 years
