Thanks to all who took part. We are a small group who are always looking for support to achieve our aims.

Busy day at Rowantree PS Community event. May well have been the busiest in years with so much going on for families, wonderful to see many groups and activities supporting the event. Well done to the organisers, it's not easy getting all this together and it's a very small group that does it. Well done, be very proud of yourselves, feedback was brilliant.
As for ourselves we provided large games such as dominoes, connect 4 and dominoes. Colouring in was popular and we offered a wee hamper for those that took our tote bags with pens and pencils and followed us on FB. Winner will be announced tomorrow (Saturday). I think our main focus was ensuring our new gazebo didn't fly away in what was a dry, warm but helluva windy day. Great day, great people, see you next year.

Our group was updated today (31/07) on how the refurbishment works are going in Linlathen. It seems its all good so far, minor issues have been dealt with swiftly by AC Whtye and Dundee City Council (DCC) Everyone having work done has been very positive towards AC Whyte and their sub-contractors with work very nearly complete on the first homes started just a few short months ago.
We must highlight the AC Whtye team (we won't put names at present) for not only their professionalism but their commitment to genuinely offering support to those that need it most. In some cases the team have spent many hours going above and beyond to help. It is not only the fabric of Linlathen being changed but in some cases, the lives of people in our community are being transformed. DCC get some criticism from time to time (not unjustified at times, even by their own admission) but they are pulling out all the stops with this and it shows.
Amazing people doing amazing things for our community, please do say hello with a smile to the work teams as you pass and give them every support.
Once we get permission from those having had work complete we'll get some pics up of the transformation. We were sceptical about loss of that "Linlathen identity" but minds are a changing!

Our group supported the Fire Service Community Action Team at their first Eden Project Big Lunch on Friday June 05th at Kingsway Fire Station. The National event aims to bring communities together for a blether and some food this was aimed at the over 50s. Councillor Christina Roberts came along,
Dundee motor museum were there with 2 old fire appliances as was Nichola and Natalie from the NHS Health Inclusion Nursing Team based in Douglas. It was also good to see 3 young people helping out from the newly formed Fire Service Youth Volunteer Scheme based at the station. They were very helpful and polite and everyone was very impressed with them.
We were all treated to the "firies" being called out to real incident, a very exciting moment at a very worthwhile event.

Beryl and Kevin were delighted to represent our group at the East End Wards celebration of Volunteers. A lovely evening listening to Greenfield Academy band and singers, great food and a quiz. It was great to see so many different volunteer groups being celebrated in National Volunteer week.
