The village newsletter. This month’s issue is below, and every issue back to the beginning is in the archive underneath it — to read here, or to download if you would rather have the printed version.
Issue 2 A worked example of a newsletter issue: what the council has been doing, what is on at the hall, and the tide times for the bay. This is a worked example of an issue, kept in place so there is something to copy when the first real one is written. Everything in it is either already true on this website or is plainly labelled as an example — nothing here is village news. An issue usually opens with a short piece from the council: what has been discussed, what has been decided, and what is coming up. Two or three paragraphs is plenty. Minutes and agendas live on their own page, so this is the summary rather than the record. The diary on this site is kept up to date, so an issue does not need to repeat all of it — a handful of things worth knowing about, and a link, is more useful than a full listing that is out of date by the time it is printed. The whole diary is on the events page, with times and places for everything. The Murray Hall is available to hire by anyone — you do not need an account and you do not need to be from the village. Rates and the booking form are on the website, and a councillor confirms every request by hand. Hire rates and how booking works Tide times for Hestan Island, the nearest station to the bay, are published on this site along with today’s weather. They are predictions and not for navigation: the bay fills quickly, and it is worth allowing a margin and checking the official tables before going onto the sands. Tide times and today’s weather Contributions for the next issue are welcome — anything happening in the village, a group looking for members, or a thank-you.

Getting it by email
Auchencairn News and Events is emailed round the village on the 15th of each month. It is put together by Jade Middleton, and it carries what is on, what the groups are doing and anything the village needs to know.
To be added to the mailing list, or to send in news or an event, email jade.norcross@yahoo.com. If you are involved in a village group and would like it included, she would like to hear from you.
Signing up from this page directly is not built yet. Until it is, emailing Jade is the way to join, and this page always has the current issue on it.
