Friends of the Old Parish Church http://www.friendsofpeeblesold.org.uk/ We are now under way with our project to set up a new organisation called Friends of Peebles Old The plan is that it will be an independent charity which would exist for the primary purpose of raising funds for the maintenance of the church. Where can I find out more? Have a look at the landing page for our website at: http://www.friendsofpeeblesold.org.uk/ This is simply a home page that will be filled out as we get underway. Willie Nicoll is looking after the build of the website and there are more pages to come. We’ll also be posting on the TOPCOP and Peeblesshire W4 Facebook pages from time to time. If you have any suggestions or would be willing to assist then contact Willie on 01896 833508. Who can become a Friend? Anyone, anywhere who has an interest in preserving the Old Parish Church of Peebles and its heritage. You just have to think about how the building helps you if you live in and around Peebles. You might be part of one of the groups that meet within its walls, you could look on as it becomes part of the spectacle of our Beltane week, you might have it in a favourite view or photograph of Peebles, You could just find the clock handy as you drive past or you might even have been inside it! What are Friends for? They will support the maintenance and improvement of the fabric of the church. Like many churches, Peebles Old has a continual need for regular repairs and conservation work. Friends will help to contribute towards the costs of preserving the fabric, repairs, replacement of major items and help with the maintenance costs of fixtures of special interest. In recent years it’s true that fewer folk need the building as a church however it’s our duty to ensure that it survives for future generations in the town as they might need it more than us. The Friends of Peebles Old will be an independent charity. It will not be under the control of the Kirk Session. Our next steps We now have a small group running to take this idea forward and we’ll need more effort to help us administer the charity so if you’d like to be involved there’s still time so Anyone interested in becoming a member of the steering Committee or knows of someone who might be interested should contact Ronald Ireland Tel. 720592 or Willie Nicoll Tel. 01896 833508
Eddleston Church Deep Clean Spring cleaning in October! On Monday 30th October a team of seven people turned out to give the church a good clean. Dusters, mops and hoovers were in full swing, black bags were filled and removed, and cobwebs cleared from windows, doors and walls! The woodwork was polished, windows cleaned and the vestry and fellowship area cleared. There was great camaraderie between everyone and a great feeling of satisfaction when the job was completed. It was decided to try and have a team going in once a month to keep on top of the cleaning. Sincere thanks are extended to all those who helped out.
