Tickets are now on sale for our End of Summer/Friday 13th Ceilidh - 7.15pm-10.30pm at the Gordon Memorial Hall in Rosemarkie on Friday 13th September.  

Tickets are £15 for adults and £10 for accompanied under 16s and can be purchased at the Spar in Rosemarkie (cash only, no cards) or by emailing or texting the Community Council with your details and the number of tickets required.

No previous experience is necessary - in fact, this is a great place to start if you don't know your Gay Gordon from your Dashing White Sergeant. The always-excellent Black Isle Ceilidh Band will talk you through it until you've found your feet.  Bring your friends, your own bottles and some change for the raffle!  All proceeds to Community Council projects.

Thanks to all who came to Fortrose and Rosemarkie Union FC Fun Day on Saturday.  The club hosted the event in Fortrose in aid of Mikeysline, the local mental health charity.  A donated Man City shift signed by star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne attracted a lot of admiring looks and was raffled by the Community Council, raising £380 which will be split equally between Mikeysline and Community Council projects.

Residents and visitors alike are invited to this year's St Boniface Fair on Saturday 3rd August.  Named after a saint who is thought to have founded the first church in Rosemarkie, the event is a re-imagined version of our burgh fair from the 18th Century. Stall-holders will be dressed appropriately!  The procession starts in Cathedral Square at 12.45pm with stalls selling local products and crafts open from 1pm.  Musicians, jugglers, stilt-walkers and spinners will provide the entertainment, with refreshments available.  The fair will close at 4pm.  Money raised will go towards local projects.

Thank you to all those who came to our Senior's Afternoon "Strawberry Tea" at the Gordon Memorial Hall this week. Thank you also to the volunteers who came to help, including pupils from Fortrose Academy and to the Trishaw team who helped ferry customers, and last but by no means least, to the excellent Wall2Wall Fiddle who provided the entertainment!
