Each of our financial supporters is entitled to use the magazine to publicise forthcoming events, or significant awards obtained. Anyone who would like to offer support in this way, can do so by contacting us at enquiries@theweevine.org.
Secondly many thanks to those who have supported this first issue by contributing articles. The Wee Vine is for Kippen, about Kippen and by Kippen. We would like to know about events as they happen, and also those which are planned. Also, organisations, clubs and their programmes and activities. Plus comments, queries, photos and anything else that takes your fancy. “Letters to the editor” on paper or electronically are welcome from all.
And finally, those who support by offering help in many ways, such as the delivery of the magazine round the village.
