The Provost and his wife were the guests of honour at the event, which was held in Chapelhall Community Centre.

Mr Cairns was only too happy to do the honours and present a cup of tea to the village’s oldest resident, 86-year-old Jennie Gemmell (left).

Jennie thanked the Provost for his kindness and enjoyed being around good friends at the event.

Also pictured is senior citizens’ committee president John Cushley (right), who was a huge part of the annual treat’s organisation.

Mr Cairns and Mr Cushley went round to meet all of the guests and also provided them with some home baking.
