Hogmanay High Jinx!
Better late than never, we can formerly announce the details of this year’s Hogmanay ceilidh. Woohoo …
We’ve secured the services of well known fiddler, Amy Geddes, with a group of fellow musicians. They will be reeling from 8pm until midnight, with the odd break for stovies and sweet treats. Should you want to toast the New Year with a few swallies, please remember to BYOB – the Hall is not licensed. Otherwise, tickets are available from Shirley Walker (830270.) The prices are as follows: £10 for adults; £5 for secondary school age children; £3 for primary; and pre schools go free.

Christmas Fair: many thanks …
It was a joy to see the Village Hall so busy for yesterday’s Christmas Fair, despite the cold and icy conditions. Many thanks to all those who turned out, to sell, shop and/or help out. Special mention too to Santa, who managed to fit us into his hectic schedule. What a trooper?! In all, some £320 was raised for the Hall itself – a very nice result …

Hogmanay Ceilidh …
Don’t go making any alternative plans – just because you haven’t heard all the details yet, it doesn’t mean that there wont be a fabulous Hogmanay Ceilidh in the village hall this year!
Plans are firmly afoot. A band is pretty much organised. And we’re just about to start peeling all those spuds for the stovies … Keep one eye here over the coming days, and all will be revealed. Garvald, you will go to the ball!
