Thanks also to everyone who supported the Quiz Night at the Mayflower on Thursday 17 November. Eleven teams took part in a very close contest. A very enjoyable evening raised £273.47 for Gala funds. Thanks to Graham Stewart for providing the quiz and to Pat Kenny and his staff at the Mayflower for their hospitality.

Our next fundraising event is the Christmas Fair at Fountain Green on Saturday 3 December to coincide with the switch on of Loanhead's Christmas Lights. The fun begins at 3pm when Santa will arrive on his sleigh. Entertainment will be provided by local bands and a choir of pupils from our three primary schools performing Christmas carols.
A range of stalls will operate from 3pm- 5pm and the lights will be switched on by Queen Rosie Hermiston and Herald Rhys Thomson at 4.30pm.

Come along and join the fun.

There will be a raffle, stand up bingo and games all in aid of the Gala Day
