THE school holidays will soon be upon us, and once again there is a plea going out to support the Playscheme at Merkinch Community Centre. Even if you can only spare an hour or two to help out, the Centre would like to hear from you so that a rota can be worked out. Children often become bored in the holidays, and they can miss doing things along with other kids. No dates for the scheme have been decided yet, but if you can help, please contact the Centre on 239563.
