PROGRAMME OF UPCOMING EVENTS
NB:CHANGE OF DATE FOR INSTALLATION OF THE
EXHIBITION BOARDS:
I've just been informed that there is a
delay for the installation of the boards along the Whitesands.
Apparently the graphics will not be completed by the original date
of April 16. Installation will now be Wednesday May 14 at noon at
the Burns' Centre.
May 6:
Kirkconnel Parish Heritage Society has invited us on a short walk
along the Mavisbank section of the Nith. It will be led by their
Environmental Officer and will offer scenic views of our river and
surrounding Kirkconnel Hills as well as looking at some of the
wildlife found along this stretch.
Meet at 3pm at Kirkconnel Parish Heritage Society at 40a Main St.
June 6:
A choice of two walks by Cluden Water - a tributary of our river.
The first is a one-hour circular two-mile walk. This may not be
suitable for all members as it does include some high steps but it
offers spectacular views. The second walk is a gentler
one shortened to 1~ miles past the Old Corn Mill, up the hill, turn
right on to the Dunscore Road and return to the parking area. On
both walks you see the plaque indicating the Twelve Apostles stone
circle. Choose on the day which walk you prefer.
Meet at 2.30pm in parking area accessed by making a left turn at the
Embassy Hotel sign off the Glasgow Road into Newbridge Village.
Cross the old bridge and follow the old Glasgow Road with Toll
House. There's plenty of car parking space on the left side of this
cul-de-sac.
July 22:
A walk round the meadow at Caelaverock led by Brian Morrell,
Learning Manager, to see the feeding of the swans at 2pm and
hopefully catch a glimpse of ospreys.
Meet in the car park at 1.30pm.
Anyone wanting a lift or offering a lift to the above walks please
contact me so that we can try to cut down on the number of cars.
Just a Reminder: Our new treasurer is Betty Jardine, and subs
are due on April 15 if you have not already paid.
