The Editor

Just ever so occasionally we see heartwarming examples of unity. I’m a bit of a rugby fan and by the time you read this the British and Irish Lions will have departed these shores for a 10 match tour of New Zealand. The squad draws from Scotland, Ireland (both Eire and Northern Ireland), Wales and England.

The players need to bond together, respecting different nationalities but working together to achieve a common goal. New Zealand are currently ranked the number one team in the World by some distance and only by working together might they be overcome. Good luck The Lions!!

PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS

As chaplain to Buckie Thistle Football Club, I am really happy that they have won the 2016/2017 Highland League.

On observing how the team achieved this feat, I was struck with the qualities that were needed and exhibited.

First of all, it was a team effort with all of the players and coaching staff doing their part, all through the season.

It was evident that each person’s talents were very important to the collective effort.

They supported each other and believed in each other, despite coming through some bad results and uncertainty.

I then looked at the Church in general, and compared the two groups.

When it comes to achieving the goal that the Lord has set for the Church, it requires a team effort, with each member doing his or her part.

Gone are the days when the Pastor or Minister was expected to do everything, and rightly so.

It is only when everybody is engaged and connected to the rest of the members of the Church that it is effective.

We all have different gifts, which God has imparted to each one, complimenting our neighbours.

God has a place for everybody, if they would only surrender to Him and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, turning away from lifestyles that do not honour Him. John 6:37 says, “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”

I am often asked this question, ‘Do you need to go to Church to be a Christian?’

But it is the wrong question.

The question should be, ‘If you are a Christian, then why wouldn’t you go to Church?’

page 6 - June 2017

God has promised to build His Church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

Psalm 133 says, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!

It is like the precious foil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes!

It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion!

For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.”

Just as a football team is family where loyalty is paramount, so it should be in a Church, where we are commanded to love one another and to prefer one another.

(Acts 13:38)

Reader, by Him alone, all that believe are justified from all things. By Him alone is there peace with God for you. By Him alone will your sins be washed away and you will walk in newness of life. He alone is the one who died for sinners, He alone died for the ungodly and He alone did God raise up again from the dead to show his complete acceptance with His Son's sacrifice on Calvary's Cross for you.

Business Profile

Moray is home to Scotland’s first specialist shade and home automation company which offers state of the art blinds and smart home products that can be remotely controlled via your phone. Cascade Blinds, based in Elgin’s Chanonry Road South, is also the north’s first Somfy Tahoma dealer, offering a wide selection of products that can be operated via any flash enabled smart phone, tablet or smartwatch using an intuitive app. The independent company was established in Inverness in 1987. It was bought over by the McCrea family four years ago, and run alongside their Inverness window blind superstore, World of Blinds.

Owner, David McCrea said: “We’re keen to do something special with Cascade and with the growing demand for automated and motorised window coverings, and on it’s 30th anniversary, our direction became clear; we have launched the business from our new Moray office. We have now secured the desirable Luxaflex dealership, offering exclusive products and systems, and an awnings and canopies range. Motorisation means you can schedule the opening and closing of your blinds, curtains, awnings, garage doors, gates, velux products and security systems from one easy to use app.”

The app means that you can create a cosy home environment before you even get there, as well as boost your home security: “Using a timer means you can give the impression that your home is occupied even if you have been delayed at work or are on holiday. It is without a doubt the way forward,” David continued.

Cascade Blinds also offers bolt-on products including smart switches, smoke detectors, light sensors and security devices such as cameras and motion sensors. The Moray showroom offers free advice and consultation to ensure you can choose the best soft furnishing and window styling for your home.

“The first consideration is deciding what your room requires. For example, does the light need softening, filtering, or blocked out completely. We offer a huge range of benefits, including exclusive patterns and designs that can create a warm, comfortable and striking environment – and they’re combined with world leading technology. A major benefit for this next generation of shade systems is that the looped cords and chains have been eliminated which removes risk for young children and vulnerable people.

“We have been involved in the window styling industry for many years, and with the latest trends moving rapidly towards automation, we find this an interesting challenge from a manufacturing perspective, and also a very exciting time in the history of window coverings,” David concluded.

Cascade Blinds is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 11am to 5pm, Wednesday 10am to 2pm, and Saturday 10am to 3pm.

UK FRANCHISE OF THE YEAR RUNNER UP

2013

Red Thread (Yellow Be Aware Warning) !

We often have an outbreak of Red Thread fungal disease in this area now. It’s pretty widespread in this part of the world from June onwards, and especially if it is mild and wet. It’s a fungus, like moulds or mildews, and in the right conditions can attack grass leaves causing blotchy brown patches that leaves the lawn looking like it is drought stressed. Clearly if it’s been wet, that’s not the case. The picture below was taken previously on my lawn in late June.

If it’s a persistent outbreak, you can often see the grass producing a pinkish mould growth. That’s the mycelium or fungal bloom from the Red Thread spores. It doesn’t usually kill the grass, but it damages and disfigures the leaf causing a rather unsightly blotchy browning-off effect. Once established, the infection will usually persist through the season until the first frosts in October, when the frost kills it off for the year.

I mention it now as it CAN be successfully treated with a fungicide, and when we apply a fungicide spray to affected lawns, it usually clears it in a week or so. Occasionally a repeat application is required. Once control is established however, it usually keeps the grass free of the infection for the rest of the season.

You can get more information and pics at www.greenthumb.co.uk, or at www.rhs.org.uk (Royal Horticultural Society)..

For more information about our annual lawncare plans from just £11.25 per mth, plus useful downloads and photos, go to www.greenthumb.co.uk. Although GreenThumb is a multi-award winning national franchise, and is the runaway leader in the sector with half a million customers, we are the family-run local franchise covering the wider Moray Firth area.

Entertainment

THE DROUTHY COBBLER

It’s been a busy month starting with the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, which saw thousands of visitors arrive in Speyside to experience over 500 whisky themed events. We now head into the Summer with some of the best music & comedy from around the country, performing live at The Drouthy Cobbler.

For music fans, the month starts off with Douglas MacGregor & Toby Hay on the 1st. Two extremely talented guitar players, they each play a different style of music. Douglas’ influences come from all over the world and include blues, folk, jazz and classical, whilst Toby is a more traditional folk musician, yet still influenced by world music, as well as that of his native Wales.

On the 8th, acclaimed folk singer Jenny Sturgeon will be performing songs from her impressive debut album, ‘From The Skein’. Her traditional Scottish music and lyrics inspired by folklore, historical events and personal experience, have received rave reviews from around the country.

Chris Sesar & Gill Halliday (11th) are a pair of up and coming singer song-writers, blending Celtic folk and roots & country music with a brush of gypsy jazz. This will be an excellent night of songs with some of the best harmonies around.

For those looking for something a little louder, Twin Heart and The Belafonte will be performing on the 16th. Kilmarnock’s Twin Heart will kick things off in phenomenal style with their intoxicating brand of alternative rock. More alt-rock from Ayrshire trio The Belafonte will top the bill.

The monthly Comedy Club (28th) will once again feature the best in Scottish comedy, featuring a variety of styles and acts. And with the Edinburgh Fringe fast approaching, there will be some preview shows, for comedians to hone their act before stepping on stage at one of the world’s biggest comedy festivals. The first of these is on the 4th of June when Liam Withnail & Gareth Waugh will be performing their shows ‘The Immigration Game’, about discovering the true cost of love in the United Kingdom; and ‘Honestly?’, a show all about lying and honesty. One mic must be the truth and the other only lies... but can you tell which is which?

Tickets for all of these events are available at The Drouthy Cobbler and at www.thedrouthycobbler.co.uk Please be aware that while live comedy can often be hilarious, it is also highly subjective and some material might not be to your tastes!

Countdown is on for piping extravaganza Moray is gearing up for its biggest one day event which takes place next month and attracts visitors from all over the world.

Piping At Forres, the European Pipe Band Championships will take place on June 24 in Grant Park.

Now in its fifth year, Piping At Forres, sponsored by Benromach Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, not only includes world class piping and drumming, Highland dancing and the World Tattie Scone Championships, but also includes a food and drink village, a craft and retail village, bars and family attractions such as funfairs.

Visitors can even try their hand at the pipes and drums themselves. New attractions at this year’s event will include an interactive science tent and reenactors to tell visitors more about the history and heritage of Forres and the surrounding area. Alan James, chairman of Forres Events Limited, the company which organises Piping At Forres said: “Piping At Forres is now a firm fixture on the piping calendar and also a key date in the diary for locals and tourists alike, who come and spend the whole day in Grant Park, soaking up the atmosphere of the piping whilst enjoying all of the other attractions such as the craft village, food and drink stalls, the funfair and the many interactive attractions that make it a great family day out.”

He added: “Since the first Piping At Forres in 2013, the event has grown and each year there is something new. This year we are delighted to be part of Scotland’s Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology and the park will be cast back in time when reenactors from various historical periods descend on the arena.

We have also commissioned a historical walking app which will not only get people moving around Grant Park and learning about its history, but also get people out into the town itself, creating a real carnival feel not just in the park, but throughout the whole of Forres.”

Major General Seymour Monro, who will act as this year’s Chieftain, also spoke at the ticket launch event.

He said: “I am really delighted to have been invited to act as Chieftain for this year’s European Pipe Band Championships. It is a spectacular event which has put not only Forres but Moray on the map. From across the world, pipers and drummers travel to Forres to take part. The people of Forres and the organisers of Piping at Forres are now renowned for putting on a fantastic show. As a local man, it is a real honour to be able to support this superb event and the launch party has kicked that off very nicely.”

Last year, Piping at Forres drummed up over £1 million for the local economy and was shortlisted for the Best Cultural Event or Festival award in the 2016 Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards.

The contest which saw nominations coming in from as far afield as Canada also ties in with Scotland’s Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology. Piping At Forres is being supported by EventScotland, part of VisitScotland’s Events Directorate.

INNES HOUSE

Weddings and Corporate Entertainment A Unique place for any Occasion It is difficult to imagine a more romantic setting for your wedding than a 17th century house set in a sheltered walled garden. However, Innes is not just a stunning venue which you and your guests will never forget, but also offers a wholly flexible programme to enable you to plan your day exactly as you would like.

Every wedding is unique and tailor-made for each couple. You may hold the ceremony here in the garden or in one of the two beautiful reception rooms. After the service your guests can wander around the gardens whilst you have your photographs taken in these tranquil, romantic surroundings.

The reception and dinner may be held in the East Dining Room or larger parties can be held in our marquee extension which covers a walled garden complete with a summer house for the bar and a fountain around which the tables are set. After dinner you may enjoy dancing or other entertainment and then drive away down the tree lined avenue and look back on a magnificent floodlit house.

Alternatively, you and some of your guests may stay the night in one of our splendidly appointed bedrooms and leave after a leisurely breakfast the next morning.

Offer extended!

Any couple booking their wedding within six months of their wedding date, will be offered a complimentary wedding night accommodation along with a 'Champagne Toast' upgrade of their chosen drinks package

Carer-Friendly Moray - celebrate our communities In Scotland, 17% of the adult population is a carer, saving the economy £10.3 billion a year – the equivalent of a second NHS. Here in Moray, almost 8000 people provide unpaid care to a family member or friend who depends upon them because of physical or mental ill health, disability, frailty or substance use. You might be one of them, or know someone who is.

Quarriers Carer Support Service (Moray) is here to support you.

Carers can be any age, gender, nationality or profession. You may be full-time or part-time. You may have chosen to provide care, or have found the role thrust onto you unexpectedly, either suddenly or over a period of time. And you may often wonder how you ended up where you are!

Carers Week is a national event which celebrates and recognises the vital contribution made by the 6.5 million people across the UK who currently provide unpaid care for family member or friend.

Between 12-18 June, events will be taking place all around the UK to involve carers and make them aware of the support available.

Taking the theme Building Carer Friendly Communities, the week focuses on creating communities which support carers to look after their loved ones well, while recognising that they are individuals with needs of their own.

National research shows three in four carers don’t feel that their caring role is understood or valued by their community. Here in Moray, Quarriers will be joining with other members of the Carer Service Providers Network to host an event at Elgin Town Hall on Wednesday 14 June, 9.30am-3pm. With a mix of speakers, workshops and taster activities, the event offers something for everyone.

This event will include the Carer Friendly Moray Awards, recognising people and organisations that have made the lives of carers easier. You are invited to nominate individuals, businesses, groups and service providers who have demonstrated they value you and your caring role.

Print off a nomination form at http:// RQOLQH ĴLSKWPO FRP DZ]F GVSU , one for each nomination you want to make, and send it in to Quarriers

by Friday 2 June. You can also ask for a copy to be emailed or posted to you by calling Quarriers on 01343 or emailing carersmoray@ quarriers.org.uk.
