Senior Citizens' Social Evening

The evening was well attended and was a great success.  Senior Citizens from all over the Kirkmahoe area came to be entertained with music from the Old Geezers, who were dressed in Country & Western style.There was a great Singalong session with songs from the likes of Cliff Richard, and Scottish songs which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

Joan Stroud read out some of her own excellent poetry.

The food was excellent. Mary Harkness gave Thanks to all involved with organising the event,and such was the success that many folks tarried in the Hall  after the entertainment was over.

A Social History Photograph

Here is a lovely photograph kindly sent to Kirkmahoe News by Morag and John Williams.
Taken in the middle of last century it depicts three village ladies in "peenies and slippers" having a really good laugh. It is thought to have been taken in the Quaw, at the side of Kenmuir.

Thanks to Morag and John for this happy historical photograph.
You can see more local photographs in the "Kirkmahoe Through the Lens" Book which can be purchased at Libraries and the Museum in Dumfries.
