The Beauty Of May

As I remind you every year, it is time to protect or improve your ‘maiden’s fair’ complexion by washing your face in the early morning dew of May 1st. May Day is marked is many other ways by di erent countries and ideologies, it is also an internationally recognised statement of distress when broadcast by ships and aircraft in di culties. However, on this occasion let us go for the happy, healthy and cosmetic de nition. There are also other ‘ rsts’ in this issue, from the newly formed Community Alcohol Partnership (p27) to the rst time Guides from across the Highlands have come together in Fort William for a ‘thinking’ Day (p20) and Fort William Football Club’s Reserve team joining a the West Highland Amateur Football Association for the rst time. Hopefully in at least the latter case they will be coming ‘ rst’ quite often. Of course, First and foremost - enjoy Lochaber Life. Iain
