https://www.facebook.com/Kiddiwinks.of.Kemnay

We are now looking to take names for the January term for our 2's group.  Our sessions are held in the cricket pavilion on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Fees are £3.75 per session, for 2 hours.  Kiddiwinks is fortunate to boast its own garden and safe access to secure outside playtime.

Having just recently hired a new playleader, we have received wonderful feedback from parents, and even the local health visitors.

We run our terms in-line with the local schools, and take the same in-service days and closures.

Reid, Shoemakers.

I have in my possession a photograph of my great uncle Andrew Reid, born 1868, Kincardineshire.  We know for certain that it is him but I believe it is pasted on to a card by Cruickshank, photographers of Kemnay, and possibly had another photograph of Thomas Reid, son of Robert Reid, shoemaker of Kemnay.  On the back of the photo card is written "Thomas Reid, John's mother's father".  So I am not sure why Andrew Reid, who was originally a shoemaker, but joined the Metropolitan Police force in 1892, would have had this photograph at all as he lived and died in London whilst in the police force.

Kemnay Skate Park Initiative

in ::

I am a detached Youth Worker with Clackmannanshire Council Youth Services. I was wondering if anyone could offer me any help with an enquiry that i have? i am currently supporting a group of young people to set up a user group to establish a skate/bike park facility in Clackmannanshire. This is at an early stage, there has been 85k allocated from a housing development although the group would like to set up a management committee that will elect office bearers, adopt a constitution, open a bank account and seek charitable status. I have noticed that the Leading Edged Skatepark in Kemnay have done that sort of thing and would be interested in following that as a model.  Do you know how we can access thier constitution and any other info? or who we can contact with regadrs to this as there isnt much information on the internet apart from the Standing up to antisocial behaviour website.

Exercise buddies wanted

I've noticed the new gym equipment installed at the park and have used it on several occasions.  Its great fun exercising in the fresh air but a bit lonely on your own and it lacks motivation.

I wondered if there was anyone out there interested in meeting at the park for outdoor exercise sessions to help motivate each other. I'm no athlete but looking for like minded people interested in getting fitter and making an 'unofficial' exercise group at the park. Or even better if there is anyone out there would like to hold an 'official' bootcamp style class in the park, I'm sure you would get a few attendees.  They run them in Aberdeen but none locally.
