Approved Licence No. Contractor WML/0220082 WANTED SCRAP CARS TOP PRICES PAID All Registration Documents Destroyed On Uplift Of Car. All Cars Destroyed Through DVLA Regulations. BEITH SALVAGE CO., MAINS ROAD, BEITH 01505 504949 DOORSTEP SCAMS A Lochwinnoch resident has asked us to make readers aware of the continuing problem of doorstep clothing collections by bogus charities. Without naming names, if you receive a notice through your letterbox from any organisation purporting to be collecting household goods, clothes, books, bric-a-brac etc in the name of a UK or Overseas charity or good cause, here’s some useful advice to follow before you part with your possessions. ◊ Look for the charity registration number on any literature that you receive and check it out. This number should be displayed on all advertising or fundraising material if the charity has an income of more than £1,000 a year. ◊ Details of all registered charities in England and Wales can be found on The Charity Commission website. Registered charities in Scotland appear on the website of the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and you can check out charities registered in Northern Ireland by contacting the Department of Health and Social Services in Belfast. ◊ Fundraisers approaching you in the street should wear an ID badge and be able to prove that they have permission to collect on behalf of a charity. ◊ Fundraisers contacting the public by phone should be able to provide the charity’s registration number. ◊ You can access charity accounts and other data by visiting a userfriendly website called Guidestar UK. ◊ Don’t forget, many absolutely worthy and legitimate voluntary organisations are not registered charities. Just because an organisation chooses to make donations to charities and good causes, this does not necessarily mean that the entity itself is a registered charity. If you are in doubt, take a note of their contact details and check them out in the appropriate way. For example, if they are a registered company, they can be researched through Companies House. Ask the organisation or person contacting you how the company is set up and why is it set up in this way. This guidance comes from The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and The Charity Commission for England and Wales websites.

You can find us in a stone-built 18th century barn at West Bankside Farm, Kilbirnie. We are located on the outskirts of Kilbirnie just 300 yards off the Largs Road, opposite the golf course, on a tarmac road. The Stirrup Cup promotes an eclectic mix of antique furniture and jewellery, vintage ceramics and glassware, a diverse selection of original oils, water colours and limited edition prints. Specially made crafts by local artisans and contemporary jewellery, plus a variety of curios, add up to a quirky mix of items to suit all tastes and pockets. West Bankside has been in the Logan family for 3 generations and was a dairy farm until 1986 when John changed career to work in development agencies. In 2002 he returned to self-employment as a freelance business consultant, establishing Bankside Business Services. ACCA Bankside Stables is a family run livery yard, approved by the British Horse Society, with 24/7 supervision. Full-time, Part-time and Assisted Livery at DIY rates offered.

Upper Floor 32 High Street Lochwinnoch PA12 4AA Tel: 01505 843083 Fax: 01505 843045 E-mail: info@stranvillejohn.co.uk Web: www.stranvillejohn.co.uk We converted the redundant byres and sheds into livery stables and individual tack areas. Bankside Stables has recently been accredited by the British Horse Society as an Approved Livery Yard. Greta inherited her interest in antiques and collectables from her Grandmother who used to trade in Glasgow. Our barn was the one remaining undeveloped building and we revitalised it to provide the premises for The Stirrup Cup. Like every start up The Stirrup Cup has had its ups and downs. But, overall business has been very encouraging. Already, we are lucky to have had a number of customers from Lochwinnoch. Surrounded by a mature garden and overlooking the Garnock Valley we are extremely fortunate in our idyllic location. Please call in and you will be assured of a warm welcome. Thank you Greta and John Logan. We opened the office at the side of our house on the High Street in November 1998. We cannot believe that we are fast approaching our 10th Anniversary and now have fantastic new offices—just along the road at number 32! We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years. Lochwinnoch has proved to be an excellent location for the business and a delightful place to live. Steven and Janet
