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".

Lord Fraser's campaign for a memorial to General Maczek
The 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.
An extract from the Foreword by Neal Ascherson
