To view the document you will need a program that can read pdf files. One such (free) program that is Adobe Acrobat Reader. This programme can search for individual names (the binocular icon) which is handy seeing as its 125 pages long!!
10th October - The year of Aquarians?
The Community Council are seeking volounteers to help out by watering community owned plant tubs/window boxes in Letham and Monimail. Fife Council offer grants of up to £500 to create up to 25 flowertubs. All we need are people to volounteer to look after and water a tub or two. This is regarded as a cornerstone of this year's bid to win Fife Council's Best Kept Village Award away from those rascals at Collessie!
