Bitesize Nutrition will be holding Healthy Eating for Weight Loss classes in Kemnay Village Hall, starting Wednesday 11th January 2012 at 6.30pm.

Real food and expert advice from a qualified nutritionist

The main aim of the class is to help you lose weight, but weight loss goes hand in hand with healthy eating so the class also provides you with sound nutritional advice on subjects such as: - 

• The importance of calcium for bone health
• The difference between LDL & HDL cholesterol
• How to speed up your metabolism
• The health benefits of fibre, and it's uses in weight management 

Each week you will be weighed, followed by a 15 minute presentation on a healthy eating topic, after this there will be a short informal discussion on the healthy eating topic covered and any other questions you may have.  Each week we will also discuss healthy meal, snack and recipe ideas.

I am a resident of Fyfe Park and have recently had notification of the Full planning permission for 54 houses by Deveron Homes. I am aware this is in the local plan however I have several concerns with the development.

My thoughts are detailed below:

1) The strip of land on the quarry side of the road is owned by Greenbelt Group Limited who have not been notified as a neighbour of the development.

2) The residents of the surrounding houses, on Fyfe park, Wilson Place, Elizabeth Close and John Gray Drive, Pay Greenbelt annually for the maintenance of the strip of land mentioned above in point 1. The developer has proposed 3 new entrances through this land and has proposed the planting of landscaping along this land which they do not own.

If by chance the chap that was running for the bus at 06:00 this morning outside the Kirkstyle Garage reads this blog............I have complained to George Devine at Stagecoach on your behalf.  The bus was early this morning, shown by the fact that we waited at Blackburn, the Airport and Moat House at Bucksburn, so there was no excuse for the driver not waiting for you.

 It is that last thing you need at that time in the morning and the drivers should show some sense and responsibility. 

Cheers

Hi I am Graham Watson a local Postie. many of you would have read about me and the charity I am a volunteer with last year in the local press and this website I went on a convoy to Ukraine with 9 other lorries full of Aid for underpriveledged children.

I run a Darts tournament last year in Inverurie to raise funds for the charity it was great success and I am holding another one this year. Once again a big thank you to SCOTVQ from crieff who are donating the Prize Money for this Event.

It is being held on Saturday 26th May 2007 in the Inverurie Locos Football Club Social Club Harlaw Road. The entry fee is £5.00 it is a singles Tournament and the first prize is £200 2nd £50 and the 3rd & 4th prizes are £25 each. So if you want to come along and try your hand at darts or just to give support to a very worthwhile cause please do so.

This week Stagecoach have finally got their buses to avoid going to the airport at peak times, only a week later than their timetables and posters on the buses indicated. Still better late than never, and I even managed to get home in the light last night, all in time to pick a small boy up from footie.

Then again I didn't think the bus was going to make it this morning as the engine died as we tried to move off from the High Street. I always think they put the best bus on for the early customers.................who needs heating in the winter anyway!? I suppose I should just be grateful that we do have a regular bus service and get on with it.

It looks like there has been a partial success for those wanting to go straight to and from Aberdeen without a scenic tour of the airport.

From the 19th Feb it looks like at least the peak hour buses will avoid sitting in the queue to rejoin the stream on to the A96.

Coming back in the evening the 16:30, the 17:30 and the 17:55 leaving town will come straight back to Kemnay, removing 25 minutes from the journey.

In the morning the 06:24 the 06:58 and the 07:23 will take you straight into the office or school and avoid driving round to the airport just to check it is still there.

My name is Katie Forbes and I'm studying Civil Engineering at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. Now that I'm in my fourth year I have had to choose an area that interests me to research for my dissertation. Being interested in the area of water and having lived right next to the Don lead me to the interesting topic of flood prevention along the Don. I'm looking for some help from the people in the area who may have some interesting photos or stories that they could share with me to help with research into how and where the worst of the flooding has occurred over time.

If you have any information that you would like to share with me, then you can either email me at the web address below, or send photos (which I can send back if you give a return address) and/or stories to the street address also below. If you would prefer, I can arrange to meet with people, who would rather just tell me stories or show me pictures for what they remember.Thank you for your time.
