It might have been a Silent Auction, but it wasn't a Silent Night!
Memus Hall was packed out with rural members and friends, folk from the Glens and weel kent faces from the wider Strathmore area extending into Perthshire. Beyond the tremendous figure of £900 raised, Cortachy WRI evening was a great success - from the buzz of friendly chat, through the well stocked buffet table to the heavily laden cars driven home packed with treasures.
Thanks to all who donated, attended, bid, bought, baked, officiated, served and tidied up. "Thank you," particularly to absent friends who contributed despite their committments to events elsewhere in the district.
"Thank you," especially to the kitchen staff who ran the bar and washed up in an exemplary fashion which will undoubtedly encourage the Women's Rural to call on the services of the Rural Men to run future catering projects.
Sincere thanks to all.

News update - Fresh from the triumph of the auction, Cortachy SWRI team was at the Angus Federation Ruralympics next day, and came 6th equal out of 25 teams. Fowlis and Liff, an institute known for its athletic prowess, came 1st. We think Tarfside was 2nd, but that is based in a third hand report. Congratulations! to Fowlis & Liff and Well done! to all who participated.
