Hello Everyone,
I hope you’re all enjoying the summer weather we’ve been having, I know some people find the kind of temperatures we’ve had over the last weeks difficult to cope with, but it seems churlish to complain about them when we traditionally complain about the cold and wet conditions we’re more used to.

Hello Everyone,
With Summer hopefully approaching and holidays being planned, some of the village clubs and activities have ceased until the Autumn, so we celebrated our last Pub Night - a popular event and returning in September - on April 25th.
Soup Lunches and Kurling have also finished for the time being. We will of course be having the annual Village Show and Music Nights in July; further details in this issue.

Hello everyone. Well, Spring has officially sprung and many folks now will be getting their gardens into shape for what we hope will be a warm and sunny Summer, climate change allowing of course.
