The other 2 pdfs contain information about 2 conferences with links to the Bicentenary, both at Glasgow's Riverside Museum at the start of March. One is free, the other is £25. If you're interested in them please book directly with the organisers.

I'm surprised to see that there does not appear to be a paper in either of the seminars dedicated to the story of the Comet and the people involved in her creation / operation - Henry Bell (owner), John Wood (builder), John Robertson (engine builder) and David Napier (boilermaker). I suppose it may be included in Dr Bellamy's paper "Myth and Memory on Clydeside: The Comet Celebrations as a Bellwether of Industrial Power" but the title doesn't make that obvious and surely it merits more prominance. Also it might have been nice to have the original engine of the original Comet on Clydeside for this year. It was donated to the South Kensington Museum (now the Science Museum) in London by Robert Napier (at that time the South Kensington Museum was about the only one in UK that had space dedicated to industrial heritage. Although I,ve seen it there , it appeared to have been removed from view last time I looked for it (which was a couple of years back)
Compared to the 1912 and 1962 celebrations those in 2012 look like being very low key. Well times are hard and most of the available resources are pouring into the Home Counties for the Diamond Jubilee and the insatiable Olympic Games account.
