We've added a new page and news category (Organization) about the Johnstone History Society itself. You'll find all you need to know, and perhaps a wee bit more, about the Society, its origiins, its people, and how you can participate. You will find a link below and in the News table of contents.
All this will be coordinated by Iain Murray, who hasna enough to do already. No pressure, Iain. Luckily, he has a crack team to assist him.
