Cracking Christmas Carols

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas carols event on Sunday 17th December, and received a special visit from a certain jolly gentleman who had presents for all the village children.

We raised more than £230, which will go towards village maintance projects and to Strathcarron Hospice.

Thank you!

This event wouldn’t have been such a success without the support of everyone who attended and donated. Huge thanks also go to:

Clackmannan District Brass Band for braving the chilly weather to raise our spirits.

Village committee members/villagers who decorated, catered and organised the event.

And, finally, Geoff Leask, who “arranged” the visit from our special seasonal visitor!

Hill of Airth development

Thursday 14 December is the closing date for neighbour comments on the propsed Hill of Airth development, which would see the construction of 82 houses and a visitor centre near the East Lodge to the north of Airth. This is the second attempt to green light this project, following objections from local people and stakeholders such as the National Trust for Scotland.

Make your comments on the Falkirk Council development portal.

Airth Parish Community Council are hosting a public meeting about the application at Airth Venue, 7pm, on Wednesday 20 December, following their short general meeting at 6.30pm.

Christmas Carols on 17/12/23

Christmas Carols: Sun Dec 17, 4pm

After having to cancel in 2022 due to the very cold weather, we’re looking forward to getting back together and singing in the season. We’ll be joined once again by the Clackmannanshire District Brass Band and will be collecting for charity.

Come for the carols and stay for the Christmas treats and hot drinks afterwards!

A terrific afternoon on the Green

Tea on the Green was a great success. We enjoyed fabulous home baking, live music and good chat under the sun… and some of us got quite competitive over the games. 😄

Huge thanks to everyone who came along, baked and donated and to musician Iain Guthrie. We raised over £700 for the village maintenance fund!

Well done to the Village committee for organising.
