Reunion. Official Opening Arrangements
are in hand. Single Application Form for Funding Peter
Cameron is to approach Perth & Kinross Council with regard to funding. Buffet Dance Tickets The
Chairman advised that 82 dance tickets had been sold. Dawn Harbison is to arrange the printing of souvenir dance

car park on Saturday 7th July.

in the two houses and the bowling club should be informed and access
provided. The Chairman is to
deal with this matter. Donation A donation
of £250 towards Reunion funds was received from the Sports & Recreation
Committee. The Reunion
Secretary was asked to acknowledge and thank the Sports & Recreation
Committee for this very generous donation.
Children/Five-a-Side Football An
approach had been made for provision of entertainment for children and for a
five-a-side football tournament to take place on Saturday 7th
July. It was agreed unanimously
that the attendance of children would not be encouraged and therefore not
catered for and a football tournament was not an appropriate event for the
Reunion.
Abbie and
Mary Duff had intimated they wished to donate a Visitors’ Book for signing
at the Reunion. This kind offer
was gratefully accepted by the Committee. The
next meeting was arranged for Tuesday 27th March 2007 at 7.30 pm
