we run ourselves. Names will be taken at 12.30p.m.
for a 1.00p.m. start. Winners and runners-up are
awarded with a trophy and a cash prize, which
has still to be sorted out. The winners also receive
a shield that they return at the end of the year.
Everyone welcome, bring the kids and make it a
family day out. Hot food will also be provided
at a small charge
Our annual tea bingo will take place on 06/12/06
at the New Cumnock Working Mens Club at 7.00p.m.
This is also a fundraiser that we have successfully
run for the past three years. A 50p entry charge
will be taken at the door. This is to cover part
of the cost of the tea. There will also be raffles
being sold which will be drawn at the end of the
bingo. Please bring along your own cup.
