Outing Two coach loads of senior citizens left the village last Saturday for their annual outing. The first stop was Dobbies at Stirling then on to Perth where lunch was served in the Royal George Hotel. Some time for retail therapy or just relaxing before high tea again in the Royal George before heading for home tired but happy having enjoyed another great day out. Thanks must go to all who helped in any way to make this outing possible. Monday club Ally and Sammy from Beechbrae were the guests at the Monday Club last week. Sammy spoke on recycling and all that can now be recycled in the blue bin and food waste bins. Ally showed some slides and a short video of some of the work that goes on at Beechbrae. This proved to be most interesting and enjoyed by all attending.
