Gin Tasting up to date info

 

********IMPORTANT**********

We need to sell another 12 tickets to make this evening viable. If you are still thinking about it please let us know asap or we will have to cancel the event.

Come on everyone - it would be a shame to miss out on the fun and do some fund raising for good causes.

We will make a final decision on Saturday - 3rd September.

NB Discover Kirkmahoe is donating a portion of the money raised, to the Defibrillator Fund.

Please email, drop a message on Discover Kirkmahoe FB page or call Jill Corlett on 710260 for tickets

Strike action – disruption to waste services

Strike action – disruption to waste services

Strike action – disruption to waste services We are expecting disruption to our household kerbside collections across the region between 6am on Tuesday 6 September and 6am on Wednesday 14 September due to strike action by Unite members. Bulky uplifts and commercial waste collection may be impacted, too. At this moment, no other council services will be affected and we are actively looking at contingency plans to minimise disruption. This is part of a national pay dispute affecting local authorities across Scotland. Discussions are ongoing between council leaders, trade unions and the Scottish Government with a view to agreeing a pay deal and resolving the dispute. We understand the impact and inconvenience this could cause and thank you for your patience. Please check our website and social media accounts (Facebook and Twitter) throughout the next few weeks for regular updates. As soon as we have further information we will share it with you.

Some help wanted at the school

Dear all,

We have a plea from our school and I wonder if you can help. Do you think there would be any members of the community who would like to work with us to maintain our school garden and playground area. Our pupils just love working in our garden, but we are finding this a little burdensome to maintain and develop to the standard we would like and to use to its max. This would include: Strimming grass area, weeding, planting etc (general garden care) We have 40 keen helpers who would love to be part in small groups even weekly twice weekly?

Who can I ask or can you spread the word. A member of staff would always be with the small group.

Thanks for your help
