<strong>Blairgowrie</strong> and District<br />
Seniors Outings<br />
<strong>Blairgowrie</strong> and District Seniors Outings<br />
(BADSO) has been raising funds and applying<br />
for grants to fund outings on the Freedom<br />
Coach for those in <strong>Blairgowrie</strong> and District<br />
who it is felt would benefit. Our main aim<br />
is to offer outings to those who have been<br />
isolated and lacked social contact during<br />
lockdown.<br />
Booking as an individual<br />
If you or anyone you know might benefit<br />
from this offer please get in touch with Carol<br />
or Charlie Bisset and they will try to organise<br />
groups who are happy to go out together.<br />
Tel: 01250 874246<br />
Mobile: 07746567528<br />
Email: candc.bisset@gmail.com<br />
We look forward to hearing from you.<br />
The BADSO group is linked to the <strong>Blairgowrie</strong><br />
and District Freedom Coach Association.<br />
If you would like to organise a group:<br />
1. Find out if your members are<br />
interested in this service<br />
2. Check dates with the Freedom Coach<br />
for availability<br />
3. Decide where you would like to go for<br />
your outing<br />
4. BADSO pays for the hire of the<br />
coach but any other expenses are<br />
the responsibility of the group i.e.,<br />
coffees, meals, etc.<br />
5. If there are wheelchair users make<br />
this clear when you are booking<br />
as the coach will then have fewer<br />
seats. (The coach has a rear lift for<br />
wheelchair or others unable to use<br />
the steps.)<br />
6. If people are comfortable sharing<br />
a double seat, the coach can<br />
accommodate up to 16 people.<br />
7. People with significant mobility issues<br />
would need to have a carer with then<br />
as well.<br />
8. Protocol on Covid hygiene would be<br />
explained at time of booking.<br />
Climate Kind - Christmas<br />
“Before you go shopping,<br />
you might like to support<br />
the abundance of great<br />
local shops, food growers,<br />
producers and sources of<br />
top-quality crafted gifts that<br />
we have here in <strong>Blairgowrie</strong><br />
and <strong>Rattray</strong>.<br />
Alternatively, be guided by<br />
the suggestions here for<br />
presents that would be a bit<br />
different and special.<br />
A Christmas free of<br />
disposable stuff, especially<br />
plastic, while a bit of a<br />
challenge, would make a real<br />
climate difference.<br />
Every little helps!<br />
With love from all in the<br />
Climate Cafe.<br />
