Thank you!

Hogmanay …
Yes, Hogmanay. I know it seems a VERY long way away, with summer only just beginning and all that. But time flies, especially when the sun shines …
Would anybody be interested in helping arrange the annual New Year’s Eve ceilidh? For those who have not been before, it’s an informal family gathering in the Hall with a simple supper, a few drinks and lots of dancing. Drop us a line if you’d like to help. There will be a quick preliminary meeting very soon, and planning will go from there …
