Congratulations and Celebrations!

Congratulations and celebrations to the folk of the Angus Glens for two great, recent community efforts.

Cortachy SWRI’s showing of ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ in Memus Hall on Friday 19^th April raised £574. (Tickets £423, raffle £151) Treasurer, June Rae, summed up her reaction in one word, “Excellent!”

President, Patsy Paton, thanked members for supplying the supper, members and friends for arranging the film show and raffle and the community for supporting the event and sharing in an enjoyable and sociable evening. 

Patsy said, “The night was a great success and a credit to all who were involved. The money raised will go to institute funds for future projects. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the effort in any way.”

A week later, the Glens’ community Spring Fair in Memus Hall on Saturday, May 27^th  drew exhibitors and customers from throughout Angus. Treasurer, Jane Butterworth, said “It is heartening that we can attract such a range of stalls from Cortachy School and Memus WRI to artists and craftspeople from Edzell, Kirriemuir and Forfar to come to our community hall and that the public travels some distance to support the sale. We particularly appreciate the work of the ladies in the kitchen who keep the customers fed throughout the event. Our homemade soup is an attraction in its own right.”
