Soraibh le Nicola; chàraid chòir, boireanach laghach.

Posted on 04/04/2023 by Andrew Wilson

Sad sad news: Nicola Black known, admired, loved by many of you passed away. No Cearcall Còmhradh in CD Wednesday 12 April 2023: instead it will be 19th April.

Nicola’s funeral will be on 12th April in Kirkpatrick Durham. If you would like to attend then please meet up at the village cross @11:45am to walk down to the village hall in Kirkpatrick Durham.

She was a very genuine person, bore her own ills lightly, and always brightened up any gathering by her presence.

Love, prayers and blessing to Blackie and all her family.

Madainn Cofaidh gach mios

Posted on 18/11/2022 by Andrew Wilson

The Market Inn at Castle Douglas proved to be an excellent venue! Easy to find – right next to the Mart, very warm and comfortable – newly decorated too, and the coffee was freshly ground and jolly good.. They had teas and hot chocolate as well. We paid £5.50 each and could have two hot drinks for that which was very fair. Everyone thought it was eminently suitable for what we were looking for.

Next Meeting : Wednesday 7th December 2022 @ 10:30am – 12 noon
