MID CALDER BOWLING CLUB
has reopened the bowling green for limited non-competitive play conforming with Bowls Scotland guidance. Time on the green has to be booked in advance. The club is now preparing for the next phase in the easing of restrictions and we are hoping to have our outside area in use when it is decided that alcohol can be consumed in a beer garden. If and when this happens access will be restricted to members so anyone looking to renew should do so ASAP. We would like to record our appreciation to those bowling members who have paid their fees, indeed our membership has actually increased this season. The club will continue to make more facilities available as restrictions are lifted and ask members to bear with us through these unprecedented times. Anyone requiring information on what is happening at the club should call Brian on 07821 258737.
MID CALDER COMMUNITY COUNCIL AND KIRK OF CALDER
are working together to achieve positive outcomes during this difficult time and prior to lockdown a leaflet giving full details was delivered to every household in Mid Calder. There has been a great response to the request for volunteers with a lot of help given already with shopping, prescription collections and just general advice. The main contact is Eleanor Blair who can be contacted by email eblair892@btinternet.com or phone 07823328609

MID CALDER GALA COMMITTEE
intend to hold a gathering of some sort later in the year when this year’s Gala Court children will be the stars of the show and to hopefully include them in Gala 2021. They are also looking to include the children who this year would have enjoyed their last Gala races. As all fundraising events have had to be cancelled they are looking to continue fundraising online and if you feel you can help, please go to their crowdfunding site at Wonderful and use the link https://wonderful.org/charity/ midcalderchildrensgala and follow the further links.
CUNNIGAR HOUSE
tenants are frail elderly who are currently like yourselves on lockdown . Most of them are unable to go outside and because of social distancing are also unable to use the communal dining room, lounge and conservatory. My amazing staff are continuing to provide all the care and support they need during this difficult time but I was wondering if you happen to be passing our building during your daily exercise time could you wave into the tenants if you see them at their windows ? If you have any friends or relatives in Cunnigar House you can hand in cards or letters at the front door from 11am - 3pm, they will be taken from you safely or you can email messages to me at Lorraine. Walker@westlothian.gov.uk Thank you and keep safe
