Christmas Fair 2011. This was another successful event, raising over £400 for the Primary School Parent Council funds. Many many thanks to all who got involved and helped this to be such a success, and to all those who came along. We hoped you enjoyed it. The Parent Council have used their money this year to fund various school trips and to buy additional resources for the school.
Open Gardens 2011. Many thanks to everyone who opened their gardens, and helped with all the organisation on the day. A total of £1,913.63 was raised in total, of which 40% comes back to the village. This works out at approximately £250 each for the Hall, the Church, and the Primary School Parent Council!
The remaining 60% goes to Scotland Garden’s Scheme national charities – Maggies Centres; Queeen’s Nursing Institute; National Trust for Scotland Gardens Fund; Gardeners’ Royal Benevolent Society and Royal Fund for Gardeners’ Children.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone!
Skatepark? Some of the young people in the village are investigating what would be involved to install a skatepark in the village: planning, consent, costings, and fund-raising. they recently held an information morning.
