What is YOUR group up to?

Cos the BULLetin wants to know...

There are lots of activities and events across the Donside area, every week and every year. They all do wonderful things and many have struggled to keep going, or keep going in the same way, since Covid and the Cost of Living crises.

What’s your passion? Does your group or event need new members/volunteers?

Get in touch. I’d love to feature you in the magazine. Send any words, pictures, posters and important dates to the contacts below.

Remember the copy deadlines – 1st of February, May, August and November, every year.

I live in Ballater (another fabulous place!) so I can’t always have my ear to the ground with what’s on but I do want to help the Alford and surrounding area tell folk about what is out there for them.

The rewards are huge for all. Be it tennis, hula hoops, reading, debating, blethering or rolling out Father Christmas every year, let me know, and I’ll do what I can with the space I’ve got. Cat x
