‘The condition of the roads round<br />
here is appalling’<br />
‘Isn’t anybody going to cut back<br />
those weeds?’<br />
‘Don’t get me started on the dog poo!’<br />
‘I didn’t know they were going to<br />
change that shop into flats.’<br />
Ever said or thought anything like<br />
that? If you want to know more about<br />
what’s going on in your village and<br />
get something done, then come along<br />
and join <strong>Lochwinnoch</strong> Community<br />
Council.<br />
Meetings are on the first Tuesday,<br />
every month, at 7.30 in the Parish<br />
Church hall. The next meeting is on<br />
Tuesday 7th October.<br />
The CC deals with planning matters,<br />
liaises with the police and the SRANI<br />
path group and deals with the council<br />
on matters relating to roads and pathways.<br />
But we could do more if we<br />
had more members!<br />
Right now, the CC also really needs a<br />
Treasurer. Not an onerous task - you<br />
need to be methodical and be able to<br />
get to an RBS bank every so often.<br />
Without a Treasurer, the CC is in dire<br />
straits! If you’ve ever thought of<br />
becoming involved, now’s the time to<br />
do it!<br />
If you have matters to bring up to the<br />
Community Council, please either<br />
attend a meeting, send a letter to the<br />
Secretary at 79 High St or email us at<br />
cc@lochwinnoch.info<br />
It’s your village …. make it<br />
your community council.<br />

The 2008-2009 syllabus<br />
is complete.<br />
We begin the new season on<br />
Thursday 18th September with<br />
Colin Campbell, who will talk<br />
about his book “Can’t shoot a<br />
man with a cold”. This is the<br />
story of Lt. E. Alan Mackintosh<br />
MC 1893-1917, poet of the<br />
Highland Division.<br />
The book, by Colin and his coauthor<br />
Rosalind Green, aims<br />
to give this little known First<br />
World War poet’s life and<br />
works more of the publicity<br />
they deserve.<br />
The meeting takes place in the<br />
Guild Room of the Parish<br />
Church, beginning at 7.30pm.<br />
Tea/coffee and biscuits will be<br />
served. Membership for the<br />
year is £8, Evening visitor £2.<br />

THANK YOU<br />
To LMEG (<strong>Lochwinnoch</strong> Millenium Events Group) for the donation of the nice new<br />
benches at the library. Library staff and customers are delighted with the new seating<br />
and they make a huge difference to the outside space and the elderly find them far more<br />
comfortable than the old benches that had no backs or arms.
