The programme is now more extensive than previously advised involving the laying of 3.7km of new polyethylene pipe. The works are set to continue through to December 2016 and will affect households in several areas of the village. The £4.3m refurbishment works at Kilmacolm Primary School remain on target for completion by October 2016. The Council’s client services’ team are maintaining regular contact with the school and parent partnership to keep them up to date with progress and involve them in decisions on such things as the choice of furniture and floor coverings. Following a cost-saving proposal from Inverclyde Leisure to concentrate playscheme provision in four super centres this summer, Councillor McCabe intervened in his role as Council Leader to ensure that funding is now available to allow eight playschemes to go ahead, including one in Kilmacolm. Due to the works at the primary school the Kilmacolm playscheme will operate from the community centre with the support of the KNCCC Board. Councillor McCabe was delighted recently to accept the temporary loan of a painting of Kilmacolm Cross by local artist Jim Wood for display in the village library. The intention is that the painting will eventually find a home in the new heritage centre Mr Wood is promoting.

The weekend of 14th to 15th May marked the first Mérignies-Kilmacolm golf challenge. The visit and the event on the Sunday, which took place in Kilmacolm, was organised by the respective clubs to coincide with the KGC 125th anniversary celebrations. The organisation of the visit of our French friends was shared between KGC and the Twinning Society. The entire visit couldn’t have gone better! We had splendid weather the whole weekend which allowed the golfers to play on both days while taking a moment to stroll around the Agricultural Show. The Twinning Society dinner on the Saturday evening, which was a huge success, allowed our French friends to savour the delights of Balmoral Chicken, Whisky Sauce and a few choice single malts! During the course of the meal we were able to present the Mérignies delegation with a set of 4 slate images depicting different buildings in Kilmacolm. These were extracts from a marvellous Kilmacolm Civic Trust project in which children from primary/junior schools were asked to draw a building of their choice in the village. As always, to make these events happen, the Society relies on the generosity and hard-work of different groups within our community. We would therefore like to offer a warm thanks to the Old Kirk for tables and chairs; our friend Jan for lending her space; Quarriers, Avonmore Cottage and Parnell Farm for fab B&B; Newark Enterprise for printing the images on the slates; and last but not least, Kilmacolm Golf Club for a friendly but masterful handling of the entire golfing event. kilmacolm & quarriers Yoga for Alzheimer's Come along to the Kilmacolm Community Centre on Saturday 18 June from 9am - 12.15pm to be part of Yoga for Alzheimer’s, a nationwide event in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Theme - Star Wars Preparations are now well advanced for this year’s event. Gala Day will start, as usual, with the Parade bringing the Queen and her entourage to the Public Park. The parade will assemble at Auld Simon at 12 noon and will begin at 12.30pm, arriving at the Public Park at 1pm for the opening ceremony and Crowning of the Queen. This year we have St Columba’s Pipe Band leading the parade, together with some of the well known Star Wars characters. The event will be opened by Lochwinnoch’s lovely Carmen Pieraccini of River City fame!! There will be the usual fancy dress competition on the field after the crowning of the Queen, and this will be judged by our Star Wars visitors. They will also select one lucky child to be included in a carefully staged fight sequence with them. We are hoping that the costumes on the day will be better than ever as there will be lots of photo opportunities!! Stallholders, for the first time, we are having a “Best Dressed Stall” competition. You can choose your own theme and the winner will have a free stall at next year’s event. The Stallholder Application forms are now available on our Facebook page OR by email to: janeowens@hotmail.co.uk OR pick up a hard copy from Calder Gallery & Framing 8 High Street Lochwinnoch. The cost still remains at £25 a pitch. The highly popular bottle stall will this year be run on behalf of our local Toddler’s Group. Please be generous with your contributions for this very very worthy group who are working so hard to provide this facility for the village. Collections will be made throughout the village. A nice bottle is very welcome but a bottle of shampoo or sauce would also be appreciated too. Dog owners, please have your best friends ready for the day, as the Dog Show will again be running and have a full program of classes. As always, we are totally dependent on volunteers to help on the day!! We are only asking for just an hour or so of your time. If you can assist in any way, either before, during, or after Gala Day itself, please contact Jane Owens on 07790506062 or email janeowens@hotmail.co.uk.
