Walking Group: Our next walk will take place on Saturday 2nd August, and the destination is Coulter. The walk takes the Group past Nisbet Farm then along the side of White Hill. At this point there is the option to climb up White Hill, walk along the Ridge then descend down. The alternative is to walk round the other side of White Hill where everyone should meet up again. The walk is 6 / 6-5 miles and could be a bit muddy in places. Those interested in going should meet outside the Church at 8:30 am, travel will be in shared cars.
Holiday Club: Our holiday club on 5th and 6th August at Flemington Hallside Church was fully booked within hours of it going online. HELP NEEDED: What we REALLY need is people to help in various roles. If you can help, please speak to Karen Hamilton or Susan Young. We need to know this ASAP as if you are not Disclosed, we will need to do that quickly.

The Millenium Banner: At one of our Guild meetings we will feature a small exhibition about the making of the Banner. This is to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its completion and dedication.

Nearer the time we will invite the participants to join the Guild members for coffee and cake. This of course will be open to everyone in the congregation.
