Club's
U Jarka restaurant included in short film
Two short films made in association with Fablevision Studios and the BBC were
recently previewed in our club.
The Poland Connection
This BBC Scotland programme looks at what makes Poles decide to come to Scotland,
shows the historical links between Poland and Scotland and gives a flavour of
both countries. This film will soon be shown on TV
Wee Poland
This film follows the lives of four different Polish people in Glasgow who all
hold on to their culture and heritage in different ways. Through them we learn
about a family business, the importance of language, cultural traditions and textile
design. Clips from this film are now available on the BBC's LAB
website
One of the clips is about Mateusz and the family restaurant in the Sikorski club (see below - opens in a new window). Other clips available include "Agata and the Polish Saturday School", "Basia and family traditions" and "Marta and the fashion show".
Celebrating the Constitution of May 3rd, 1791.
A number of events took place over the weekend of 3rd May 2013 in our club to mark this day.

Lord Fraser's campaign for a memorial to General MaczekThe 29th March 2013 saw the launch of the campaign in Edinburgh to recognise Maczek's vital contribution to the UK and Allied Forces in what became his home town.
Speaking at the Launch at the New Club in Edinburgh's Princes Street, Lord Fraser stated that the U.K. and Scotland in particular owe a debt of gratitude to the great General Maczek and our lack of acknowledgement of him over nearly 60 years has not been honourable. He reminded the guests how he was asked by the British Government to be their representative at the Requiem Mass for General Maczek in Edinburgh in December 1994.

For
There Is Hope - Book by Martin Stepek
Martin Stepek has
written this astonishing poem which is at once a monument, a meditation, a prayer
and an epic. It is a memorial or monument, in the first place, to the fate of
his Polish family in the 1940s, a fate they shared with hundreds of thousands
of Polish civilians deported to the Gulag or the Asian wastes by the Soviet invaders
in 1940. It is a meditation on life and death; his grandfather died as
a Resistance
fighter against the Nazis, while his grandmother survived her escape from the
Soviet Union by only a few months. Their children survived the war and settled
in Scotland; they used to the full the chance of a long life in a peaceful country,
but now they in turn are
approaching their end. Martin's father Jan, a leading
figure in Scotland's Polish community, died almost as this book was going to press.
The memory of what they experienced and survived must not disappear with that
generation.
