HAPPY 2014/15

Another successful event in Kirk Lane Car Park . Penny Lane provided the music, Callum Clark piped at the bells and some traditional Strip the Willow got the crowd twirling. Many thanks to D Steven for the Truck / Stage, GMR Henderson for barriers and the 'howf' with power from A Ross Plant Hire. Couldnt run the event without your generousity. We raised £351.50 on the night from contributions but no-one claimed on the lucky ticket for bottle of Old Pulteney.Webcab link crashed due to demand on the server !
