 With the development of our New Community Wing, we will be expanding on what we have to offer. The new community wing will facilitate the new community cafe.  We want the local community to have all the information they need by offering citizens advice.  The job club will also be on offer to help get members of the local community into employment, and to help make sure they are reciving the right benifits for themselfs.  There will also be a baby clinic, weight watchers classes and smoking cessation classes.  Also on offer will be a one-stop shop. The credit union will also run from our new facility.  If you have any suggestions or want to find out more information about any of the programmes on offer please contact us on 01324 503987.

 Knitting & Sewing

The Kniting and sewing class is run by Jean Harris on a tuesday from 10am untill noon.

This class is open to anyone who needs any help understanding their sewing machine , or cutting out patterns, or even for just a chat as you do your knitting with like minded people.  .

Who are You? We are finding out!

Who are We?

 Well we are finding out!

Well as you can see it’s not all work doing 
our family history; this is some members enjoying our wee Christmas Party”.  

The Genealogy group has been running now for about two years, it is a small informal group, where you can learn how to research and store your family history. The group have access to computers, printers and the internet, provided by the project enabling them to carry out their research.

The members do not just stay in the classroom doing their research; we regularly visit the local archives and have made several trips to the General Register Office in Edinburgh giving us access to all statuary records ,we travel to these places in the  project minibus.

The class on a Monday morning has maximum members at present. At the end of 2008, we had to add another morning as the Monday class was too large; therefore, there is an additional class on a Tuesday morning. Both Classes start at 10 o’clock and last for two hours.  There is a small monthly charge to cover the cost of “pay as you view” websites.

Looking to the future, we hope to welcome more members and we hope to start up a reminiscence group about the village culminating in a book.
