The Glasgow Show

MASScot at the Glasgow Show

Melanoma Action and Support Scotland had a fantastic day out at the Glasgow Show which took place over the weekend of the 20th and 21st of July. 

The weather was great and MASScot was out in force to educated those about the dangers of the sun on a scorching Glasgow weekend.

The Glasgow Show involved live music, extreme sports, dance performances, street theatre, countryside activities, children's funfair rides and a main arena filled with international acts.

Whilst at the show MASScot dispensed free sunscreen, provided information on suncream and preventing skin cancer to literally hundreds of people who were all in attendance.

Leigh, Stefanie and Aileen also sold sun hats and took over £200 to boost Melanoma Action and Support Scotland's funds.

MASScot is indebted to Dougie of Radio Clyde for reminding the crowd to go and top up their sun protection time and time again, which was taken up by many people who had come unprepared for the sun. 

MASScot was delighted to be told by the show Events Manager that they will be refunding our fee. Thank you Glasgow City Council for a superb two days. Another thanks must go to the Royal Signals for coming round and making our day. The most fun we have had spreading on sun cream ever.
