Defibrillator and CPR Training

Courses were booked for Friday 24th January, but due to severe weather, the course on the Friday evening had to be cancelled. We have now rescheduled this course for Friday 14th March from 7pm to 9pm in the M A Hall.

The reason we are offering this training is to try to ensure that there will be people available from within the congregation and the various activity groups who would be able to help in any medical situation that may occur during meeting times.

There are a few spaces available on this course, so if there is anyone else in the congregation who would be interested in booking a place, please get in touch with Lorraine Shewan by Tuesday 11th March at the very latest.

Lorraine’s contact details are: [email protected]

The next meeting of the 55+ Fellowship will be on Friday 14th March, in the M A Hall from 2.30pm to 4.00pm.  We hope to have Rev Ian Murdo Campbell of Kinloch Church of Scotland as the guest speaker and Torquil Macleod, elder, leading the singing.

If you have reached the age of 55, come along and enjoy an afternoon of fellowship, food and fun.  You will be made most welcome.

Please remember that the church car park will again be available for parking for those attending the fellowship.
