A new village association committee was elected for 2025-26 at the AGM on Monday 24th March. Many thanks to all who attended and to the previous committee for their hard work.
Laura and Colin shared the highlights from the last year which included:
- Setting up the “Friends of Dunmore”, which invited donations to be used on village beautifcation and maintenance projects
- Working with MSP Michelle Thomson to have Falkirk Council cut down a rotten tree from Lillian’s garden;
- Organising community days to chop wood, maintain public gardens and pick litter;
- Putting on a very successful Tea on the Green which raised over £1300;
- Providing hospitality for walking groups, which raised over £150;
- Restoration of the old phone box;
- Working with Forth Valley First Responders to install a defibrilator on the Bowling Hut and organising training for villagers.
There was some regret that, due to the drainage works, the Carol service could not take place.
Laura continues as Chair, with Lynne as vice chair and Kevin as Finance Officer. The remainder of the committee is made up of Becky, Colin, Derek, Emma, Gary and Sam. Derek will continue in his role of liasing with the committee and Airth Parish Council.
