There’s plenty happening in the village

The next meeting of the Philosophers Cafe is on Wednesday, September 4, at 7pm in the Auld Cross Cafe, Stonehouse.

Were the‘good old days’really that good, or do we see them through rose-tinted glasses?

What would we change today that would change the course of history?

All things will be discussed, including the meaning of life, the environment, your community, current affairs and the irrelevant.

All are welcome to go along and discuss the issues that affect you in a changing world. The 1st Stonehouse Boys’brigade company are taking recruits for the new session, which starts on Wednesday, September 4.
