Happy New Year Everyone

First Aid Course - we have organised a 4 hour basic First Aid Course which will be one session on Saturday 14th January at 10am in Kirkton Hall. It is mainly so that we have first aid cover at community events so will be taught by someone from St Andrew's Ambulance and lead to a certificate which lasts for 3 years, but would be useful to anyone in the community and there will not be an obligation to attend events.

There are 5 spare places. If you would like to join the course, which is free of charge please let me know by Friday. If more than 5 people express an interest I will draw a ballot. Please reply to me at nwcarzield@hotmail.co.uk

Art Class - Kirkmahoe Rural SWI have been running an art class in Dalswinton Hall on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm. The tutor is Pamela Grace from Kirkpatrick Durham who is excellent.
