Here's the agenda for Thursday evening's meeting. Following the fire on Cotton St, representatives of Fire Scotland will be present to discuss the retained fire service in the village. Please note the meeting is in the McLintock Lower Hall this month.
I regret I will not be able to hold my normal morning session in Doyle's on Thursday.
Revised plans on the Station Road closure from Stirling Council apparently. Letter now says closure from 29th for "around 4 days". And will only be between Ballochruin Road and Keirhill.
Will we still need to go the long way round to get to Drymen??

Go on....be a hen hero.
Rehoming date Saturday 27th July - collection point is Denny and Peebles.
All commercial laying hens are sent to slaughter at around 78 weeks of age unless they are lucky enough to find themselves in crates bound for the British Hen Welfare Trust rather than a haulier's lorry bound for the processing plant.
Can you give a home and a new life to some ex battery hens?
Hens are easily looked after and are very entertaining to watch. They make great pets and each have their own personalities. It’s so rewarding seeing them transform into fully feathered healthy chooks 🐓 they also gift you delicious eggs🥚
They need some of us to do our bit and give them a chance to feel the fresh air on their backs and spread their wings for the first time.
To reserve some girls please register online at
support.bhwt.org.uk/RegisterAHen.aspx then call Hen Central on 01884 860084 to confirm details and offer them a lovely retirement in your garden 🐔

Not entirely appropriate for here, but as a hen owner I’m a soft touch...
