Coffee Morning Galore and Posters from Store to Store

Everyone loves a good coffee morning once in a while, whether its for the coffee, the raffle, the cakes or the socialising; you will normally find a large variety of people at these kinds of events.

The time for coffee mornings and fundraisers has arrived!

With many coffee mornings going in Elgin, let alone other places in the area how can anyone possibly attend all of them.
Many coffee mornings, soup and sweets are advertised all over town so if word of mouth is how you normally hear, there are far easier ways. A list had been compiled below to help aid in discovery and add (if you're a tad like me) a little bit of activity to your day.


Your local library, yes obvious indeed.... or is it? The library is not just for use of computers and the borrowing of books, and I don't mean in recent years it has diversified into the lending of DVD's, audio books and local eventry knowledge. As many people use the library, not only is it word of mouth but quite often flyers and posters are put into the library to help raise awareness of events.


Shops, such as the newsagents and post office. Obvious choices, but also not the only ones as, any shop keepers are more thenews happy to put posters up in their windows which not only advertises the event, but also the products and sale items that are visible from the window. Being as this is not always the case, shop keepers have no obligation to put up posters in their window and on their entrance way walls so one should be aware that when asking the shop keeper can always say no.

The hairdressers, yep! The hairdressers are a fountain of knowledge, with so many people going through everyday people find anything nd everything to talk about. Most of the time if there is a event in their town, they'll have heard about it.

Have anymore tips to find out information about events? Feel free to comment or email me at janestone339@gmail.com and I can leave it as an anonymous tip or quote your name at the bottom of the article.

I hope this post helps you!

Why Do We Have To Have A Food Bank?

Article by Jane Stone Food; is it something we take for granted, something we expect to have because of it being vital to living? I'm sure a lot of people remember the 'saying waste not want not' or 'children in poor countries would love to have a small portion of what you have, many of them don't even get that much'.                                                                    Picture from Moray FoodBank Facebook Page But we are missing what should be a problem being dealt with; that people from our country, one of the richest in the world has people homeless and hungry on our streets, some living in homes with no spare income for food. The food banks were introduced to help solve this problem; but surely the Food Bank should be a short term fix, helping people temporarily until they are able to supp...

The Heli Appeal

The Cornwall Air Ambulance after thorough planning and preparation announced, on 24th April of this year, the New Heli Appeal. This appeals goal is to raise funds to bring the next generation of helicopters to Cornwall.  The AW169; how is this an improvement? Well let's get started. It has a greater range; the fuel consumption is half what the current helicopter uses so that means more air time compared to refuelling, allowing the helicopter to reach patients take them to hospital and then be able to fly right back out again to the next emergency. The engines are more powerful, so it can carry more equipment; as it stands the two Air Ambulance Helicopters, one has the equipment for flying to the isles of Scilly the other does not. With the added space the equipment can be kept on the AW169 so that the crew, if they are needed on isles of Scilly, whether flying back from a hospital or from the base, they can go straight to the patient without having to transfer or use th...

At the Lossiemouth Community Centre on Sunday the 14th of May, Crafters from over the moray area attended the event their stalls set up within one of the sports halls at the high school. From Soap to handmade silver jewellery there was a large variety of crafts. Many cakes and bakes were donated to help with fundraising. They also had a small tent outside and next to it was the hot food stall where a hog roast was done from 11 onwards for the day. The event ended at 1. As the day went on it brightened supplying periods of the radiant sun which were intermittent between torrential rain. Many of the crafters had been crafting for over 3 to 4 years. Their skills honed and true to their craft. Shark Bait and Sprocket was a crafter that had only started collecting the and using the sea glass and sea pottery to create beautiful pieces of art just last year. And for such a short time with the trade, they h...
