27 2019 calendars went on sale! Facebook post October 14 Coalfields Regeneration Trust Hub. The CRT team played hosts to the village's focus group by working with some of us, who were wearing our Luggiewatch and Community Council hats on. In their fabulous new hub in Kincardine, Lauren Arthur lead us into reflection on many aspects of the village and so began our vision planning. A most pleasant day with the nicest of people you are ever likely to meet. Facebook post CRT Scotland Facebook page 14 Autumn Photo-walk. Another successful walk with keen photographers (Paul is a professional photographer) Hot rolls and drinks were provided afterwards courtesy of Lisa in Archie's around lunchtime. A fab, relaxing afternoon and great pictures were taken. We have decided that we will also have a Winter Photowalk, so watch this space. Facebook album 6 Calendar meeting. A nice evening in Aine and Danny's trying to make the difficult decision about which photos will go into our 2019 calendar! There are so many amazing pictures taken and submitted onto our Facebook group this year and in previous years, that we will later look to create a photo-book for people to purchase and keep on their coffee tables. The food Aine made at this meeting made it easier! Facebook post Facebook photos page |
