This week Herald Social's at Wright, Johnston & MacKenzie's Christmas Bash at The Grosvenor Cafe in Glasgow and Deacon Convener's Dinner at Trades Hall of Glasgow.
Solictors Wright, Johnston & MacKenzie LLP held their annual Christmas Bash in Glasgow’s Grosvenor Cafe as a “thank you” to their clients.
The firm hired part of the cafe to provide food and drinks, which was followed by a screening of Elf in the adjoining cinema for the more than 100 attendees.
The election of Keith Brown as Deacon Convener of the Trades of Glasgow was marked by a dinner in the Trades Hall of Glasgow with the Earl of Wessex as guest of honour.
Special guests included Lord Provost Sadie Docherty and Lord Mayor elect of the City of London, Alderman Andrew Parmley.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
