NORTH LOCHS 5K CANCELLED
Due to an increase of Covid-19 cases in North Lochs, we have decided to cancel the 5K event this Saturday to help prevent further spread at what would have been our first community event.
A refund will be issued to those who bought tickets. We ask for your patience as it may take 5-10 working days to process.
Covid may have stopped us in our tracks for Saturday, but please continue with the village walks this lovely week and send us your pictures for when it feels safer to be together.

Village Walks
August we would like to dedicate each village a day and on that day we would like as many villagers as possible to go for a walk and capture the moment with a picture of your favourite view, favourite lockdown spot or selfie and send it to us.
On the Saturday we are hosting our first 5K event. After the 5k there will be a BBQ; now we have the part where we record our memories.
During the BBQ there will be the opportunity to see a slideshow of the pictures submitted throughout the week and we would also encourage you to write an entry into a ‘Memory Book’ which will capture our experiences over the last 18 months.
We hope that many of you will take part on a village walk day, the 5k or just come along to the BBQ and enjoy the pictures and recall memories and feel thankful to be part of a re-energised community spirit.
