Fundraising

and The Weir Charitable Trust. From Barchester
we have received £1,500 towards the cost of transporting our
scooters to rambles, and from The Weir Trust, £2,150 to our
general funds. We are most appreciative of their generosity and
they can be assured that the money will be put to good use for
our members.
We now have agreement to hold a can
collection at the Dingwall Tesco on 21st September. There will
be a rota for 3 shifts with two people per 2 hour shift. Anyone

applications, please let the committee know.
