The total income generated by the Christmas Fayre
was £1594, a tremendous result given everything else going on in the village that day.
Thank you to all who supported this fundraising event, and especially to those who worked so hard
to make it a success.

Two of the leaders of the Boys Brigade, Valerie Edwards and Clifford Plester took four of the boys to Leuchars Air Show on September 12th. They had been invited to go along by the 2md Broxburn Boys Brigade Company. The weather was glorious and great fun was had by all. The only hitch was the traffic jams!!

Regular C.A.B. visitors
should watch out for news on our Christmas Get Together on 19th
December.
The C.A.B. is driven by volunteers from Kirkliston Parish
Church and your Community new volunteers are always welcome. Please contact us
if you feel that you would like to help in this way. Our aim is to create a
number of zones to allow us to engage with children and youths around the
village in a safe and reliable environment. We want to get to know you and find
out what you want from your community. We'll provide the space to meet, chat,
have fun activities, whatever. Come along and find out for yourselves. Parents
are welcome to come along and speak to us to find out more. This year has been a
great learning experience for both the C.A.B. leaders and the 10 15 year olds
who have visited us. We look forward to the Friday evenings we are going to have
together in the new year. Parents can be assured that all the leaders have
undergone training and have Disclosure Scotland Certificates.
