Common Weal Perth and Kinross Common Weal Perth and Kinross next meets at 6:45pm on Wednesday, May 31 at Blend Coffee Lounge, 274 High Street, Perth, for “coffee, cake and conversati­on” on various aspects of current affairs and politics. All are welcome to come along and take part. You can find out more about Common Weal at www. allofusfir­st.org and follow the local Perth and Kinross group either on Facebook or on Twitter at @commonweal­pk@outlook.com Friends of Aytoun Hall The winner of the Aytoun Hall Quiz was R S Eveleigh of Marnhull in Dorset. A draw from correct returns was made on May 23 by Rhona Johnston of Tullibardi­ne Road and witnessed by Eleanor Aitken of D and R Johnston shoe shop. 119 quiz sheets were returned, 88 of which were correct. Incorrect returns all had the same mistake of interpreti­ng OACEMNR as ‘Cameron’. The correct answer is ‘Malcolm Canmore’; there is a poet named Malcolm Cameron, but he is Canadian and therefore inadmissib­le. Income from the quiz totalled £330 after prize money had been deducted. Thank you to those who participat­ed.
