Test - Hall Bookings Calendar - Updated

This is just a test to see if this thing will work. I have added the March calendar.

I hope to put up here a calendar of hall bookings for this month and next month. The calendar pages (one per month) are image files (GIFs), I may try PDFs at some stage which would make them be more easily downloaded and printed. Clicking on the links below should bring up the TRIAL calendar for February and March. I will be happy to hear from you if you think that this system will be of any use at all. If you have any (polite) suggestions or corrections please let me know (no guarantees that this calendar is 100% correct) :(. Email me Alan Sibbald at the Hall.

Hall furniture

With the help of a grant of £1000 from the Marr Area Partnership we have been able to buy new chairs and tables for the Hall. We received the chairs just before Christmas; they are upholstered folding chairs and they should be more comfortable than the existing stacking ones. They are also easier to store, especially on the trolleys (made for them by Kirkton Engineering of Monymusk).
We have 20 lightweight folding tables, each one capable of seating six people. The old wooden ones will be kept in the lock-up and will be used on outdoor occasions. The total cost of tables and chairs was £3575, of which we will pay £2575. The funds for this purchase came from the proceeds of the Thrift Shop. Our grateful thanks to the team of Thrift Shop volunteers for all the time and effort they have put in... .

Looks really good.. there used to be a calendar here but it wasn't as good (also it was a bit broken). Perhaps this should go on the front page as a permanent feature? If you FTP it up with the same name it would be very easy to make it a permanent on the front page... .

I've been out and about quite a bit and as far as I've seen the buses are running... you might find some info on the Aberdeenshire Council site (http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/index.asp).. .

Thank you very much for the reply, I think if I get into my work for 6 am I can get across town and onto the South Deeside road before the traffic really gets bad as I work in Altens. Not got anything yet but we are viewing another house on Friday in the area and we hope to be able to make a move to idyllic bliss before too much longer!.. .

I've been in this area for a year now and it's highly recommended! The trip is very straightforward commuting to and from Aberdeen, takes you 25- 30 minutes the most. I commute 4x a day by car going to Aberdeen for my work and there's no hassle whatsoever going back and forth. As an alternative, you can also take the Stagecoach bus, which goes to Alford every day. Welcome to Monymusk!! You will love this place!! .. .

Longer and warmer days, shorter and warmer nights? How can you all stand it? Roll on shorter and cooler days & nights - that's what I say! I've heard people saying "lovely day, isn't it?" but are they seeing the day for what it really is, or are they blinded by this merciless sun? I swear I walked out of an air-conditioned Tesco one day last week, half expecting the people around me to be speaking Spanish! Having said all this, should I one day get off a plane at Girona and if the weather is anything BUT wa.. .

Good idea Rachel - I'm up for it if anyone else is! Do you think we'll need a mediator? I can foresee a clash of personalities already - it's that shift guy with his strong opinions! :) We should perhaps wait until Springtime? .. .

Do you guys fancing forming the start of a social committee in the village? It could be a user group of the hall and run dances, gigs etc with any profits being ploughed back into bigger and better events? All meetings strictly to be in the pub. I would like to have more social events to go to that aren't just sitting in the pub - though that's good too with the right company! If anyone else is interested contact me on rachelboal@f2s.com.. .
