FHMCC's Community Fun Day

On the home page are a few pictures from FHMCC's first ever Community Fun Day and how the sun shone for us on the day. After a quiet start the day got busier and busier. We had Uncle Billy children's entertainer, Animal Man's Petting Zoo and a variety of games on the grass for the kids while the Fire Engine and Youth Bus were very popular with all age groups.

In the main hall there were a variety of craft tables, including Kieran's Dapper Thistle Crafts, Jennifer's Jools, Lynn's beautiful bags, Margaret with her lovely home made cards, and scrumptious home baking by Baby Bird Cakes. And for those folks with green thumbs, Caroline's plants proved very popular. There were competition tables dotted round the hall, a very well stocked tuck shop and loads of balloons to keep the wee one's happy. We also had a great set of live music from Euan and Jack which was very popular with everyone.

Everyone enjoyed the food village with hamburgers, cheeseburgers and hot dogs on offer while inside teas, coffees and biscuits were available, and a wee bit of shade too from the sun. Michael Mancini's Ice Creams were a delicious way to cool down in the brilliant sunshine.

We would like to thank the Fire Brigade and SAC's Youth Bus for coming along and making the day extra special. Thanks also to our stall holders for bringing their lovely arts and crafts for us to enjoy. A big thank you to our sponsors, National Lottery Awards for Scotland, Ayr South and Coylton Locality Decides, Spar at Holmston and Forehill and Morrisons Store for their funding and donations.

And last but by no means least, thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers, Community Councillors, local Residents, friends and family who gave their time to help make our first ever Community Fun Day such a huge success and to all our residents who came along, enjoyed the day and, we hope, went home happy.

FOREHILL LIBRARY ACTIVITY

FHMCC has recently made a donation of wool to our local Knit and Natter Group.

If you enjoy knitting and a good blether, the ladies of our local Knit and Natter Group would love your company at their weekly get together in Forehill Library. The group meet each Thursday afternoon to knit items which are then donated to worthwhile causes, (one of the most recent was the neo-natal clinic at Crosshouse). At the same time they manage a good old natter to set the world to rights. And it's free to join!

Whatever your knitting skills, your help will make a difference to the number of items made. If you can't spare the time to go along, why not donate some wool to help their cause – just hand it in to the Library any day.

If you fancy becoming a bit of a Knit, drop in to Forehill Library on Thursday between 2pm and 4pm. Tea and coffee are available and cost a modest 50p per cup.
