From SYHA TO HF on
HF‘S 40th Anniversary

Heartiest congratulations to the Glasgow Group of HF on attaining their fortieth birthday  . Their twenty-first seems like yesterday !But what a change since then in the popularity of hillwalking  . We must do something together to revive this healthiest of past times.

​

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Scottish Youth Hostel Association (S.Y.H.A) , celebrated with considerable eclat and brought reminiscences of our early days when the Glasgow HF , The Ramblers Federation and other organisations were ‘in at the beginning’ of the Rucksack Club and later of the S.Y.H.A.

​

Some Glasgow HF members continue in this vital work today but many in the early days appreciated the ancient adage ‘He who gives twice gives quickly ‘ and helped when the need was greatest.

​

Good luck to the HF Glasgow Group and thanks for their many services to the open air movement.

 

James C. Yuill
Chairman , Glasgow District , S.Y.H.A
