Welcome to edition 9 of The Wee Vine

We are two years in print with this issue.

Thanks again to our growing list of Supporters and a special mention to our band of distributors who ensure you receive your copy of The Wee Vine.

In this issue we again highlight the campaign to raise funds for our historic Old Kirk plus an update from The Inn at Kippen.

The campaign to reduce the speed limit in the village to 20 MPH has been a success and features in Community Affairs plus an update on the changes at the Reading Rooms.
Unfortunately, we have no club news in this issue.

We would like articles from all sources and realise that some items appear on Facebook but not everyone in the village reads Facebook.

On a personal note I would just like to remind dog walkers in the village to remove dog fouling made on our pavements as this is an offence and is not appreciated by locals and those, we welcome to visit our village.

Deadline for the next issue is 31 March 2019
