Rev Macritchie Library
As this facility has not been functioning as a library for quite some time, the remaining books are offered to anyone who would like to take some. If you are interested, please contact Lizzie.
‘Dove’s Corner’ Baby Bank
Thank you to all who have donated so generously to the baby bank over the last few months. The bank continues to be well used, and the demand for help continues to be significant in our community. Going into the winter, there is now a need for new or pre-loved clean pyjamas for age 2 to 6 years. Donations can be left at the M.A. Hall.
Thank you very much.
55+ Fellowship
The next meeting of the 55+ Fellowship will be held on Friday 20th October from 2.30 - 4.00pm in the MA Hall. We hope to have Rev James Maciver as our guest speaker and David Gray (Crossbost) to lead the singing.
After an excellent first meeting of the new session, attended by nearly 70 people, we hope this meeting will be equally successful. If you have not attended yet, please come along in October. The refreshments are very nice, and this month we will be having some Walkers Cakes!! which are always good.
