Bikes An anti- theft bike project is running throughout South Ayrshire. Dr Bike will be in Troon Library on Wednesday August 16 to provide tags and registration for bike owners of all ages. Bike theft is on the increase and this scheme should give some security. Registration and tagging is free. Superhero Summer Crafts will be held in Troon Library on August 11 from 2pm to 3pm. The crafts are suitable for youngsters aged from 5years to 11years. Memory cafe The first meeting of the Memory Cafe held on Tuesday August 1 in Portland Church Hall was very successful. Its aim is to encourage anyone who is suffering in any way from memory loss to come along with friends and family and meet others coping with the many difficulties this condition can cause in every day life. The group is free for all who come along to enjoy coffee and a chat. A donation of £ 1.50 would be appreciated. The Memory Cafe is held on the first Tuesday of every month.
