Our outing to Troon 31 july

We will be hiring a bus to take us to the Wee Hurry Fish and chippy for a delicious fish supper then on to the beach front at Troon.

If you hope to attend please put your name down on the sheet that will be available this week.

The cost will be 7 for the lunch and the cost of the bus will come out of our funds. We had a wonderful time last year and are looking forward to having great fun together this year.

As you know, Jean continues to develop our art work as we have been finding it both therapeutic and enjoyable. Some of the very generous donation we received from the members of the local art classes who held their exhibition in our halls, will help fund this project.

Do you recognise anyone in the photo. Margaret was a school prefect and is in the front row, left. She really hasn't changed much.

Do you have an old school photo - or any other photo- that you would like to share with us?

Members of the Scottish Association of Flower arrangers came from all over Scotland to decorated Glasgow Cathedral for the opening Service of Thanksgiving of the Commonwealth Games last year, and part of Mearns and Whitecraigs Clubs remit was to make a floral Bible.

Mrs Jo Baillie made the bible. She covered it in trimmed dried honesty to give the appearance of Vellum. The edges were covered using preserved eucalyptus leaves, Statice for the outer border, text and illuminated letters, and added forget-me-not, coriander seeds, fern-leaf dill and cereal seeds. Gold paint was used to provide detail.

A crystal chain was added, with an interlacing ribbon bookmark.
