Growing up in Dumbarton in the 1940s, we were very fortunate to have Educational programmes given by the Dumbarton Equitable Society Inc. Education Dumbarton. 

My sisters, Moira, Yvonne and myself were members of both the elocution classes and the Juvenile Choir. We practiced once a week and competed in a yearly festival held in Paisley. The room we practiced in was down a lane at the side of the Co-op (the stalls for the Town Clydesdales were farther down this lane) and climbed some stairs to a second floor large room with a piano.

There we learned our poems and songs for the yearly Festival in Paisley and concert in Dumbarton.
