Singing Fa La La La La La La La La - Sainsburys, Strathaven - Monday 23rd Dec 2013

The people of Strathaven were subjected to the singing delights of Mhairi, Laura, Alan, a few other family members, and 3 cadets from 1 Pl RSB.

From Frosty the Snowman to We Wish you a Merry Christmas to Jingle Bells....we rocked Sainsbury's with our un-organised, sometimes very un-tuneful carolling. The Stravonians however, appreciated our joyful efforts and fun we were having and dug deep into their pockets. In a couple of hours we raised £206. 

 

Bag Pack - Morrisons, Crossmyloof - Monday 23rd Dec 2013

The people of Crossmyloof were grateful for our bag packing skills in Morrisons on Christmas Eve Eve. Alan, Laura, Mhairi and some willing family assistants packed groceries like professionals for donations for Yorkhill Children's Charity. The generous donations of the customers helped us raise £853. We are edging ever closer to our target. :o)

 

 

TRAINING WALK 4 - Ben Lomond - Monday 25th November 2013

We have an addition to our team..........we have been joined by Mini-Yomp, Laura Hasting's. So, Alan and I thought why not take her up a Munro, on her first training hike, in brand new boots.

Laura done awesomely well on her first hike, and with some minor adjustments to her tights, a couple of plasters and a spare pair of Uncle Al's socks, we were at the top in no time. Even in the ice and snow (you can tell they are from the same gene pool, a little bit of Bambi on Ice going on). 

A nice crisp day for it. With all the emergency essentials Jelly Beans, Fruit Pastilles, Pig Pens and 2 Bars of Chocolate, we were set - well for a sugar rush at least.

Yomper, Mini-Yomp & Yompette..we made it!!!

The top is in sight.... :o)

Phew...!!!!

Coffee Morning & Cake Sale - Sat 9th Nov 2013

Coffee/Tea and some delicious home baking??? Yes please. :o)

A coffee morning & cake sale held in the Rankin Church Hall on a miserable November Saturday raised £459.55 for Yorkhill Children's Charity.

There was a truly spectacular array of cakes to be enjoyed. I (yompette) was over-whelmed by the generosity of my family, friends and neighbours. Cakes, scones, pancakes, tombola prizes and donations....thank you so very much.

Thank you to all who turned out, and came in to enjoy some coffee, cake and some witty banter. It may not have been as busy as I hoped. But I still managed to raise a whopping amount for the charity. So everyone who attended really splashed the cash, and it's very much appreciated.
