Hi there!
There’s a Family Fun Day on Saturday 7th June at Glen Urquhart High School in Drumnadrochit. And before you say “I can’t get down there”, transport will be available.
It’s a multi-agency event designed to provide a great day out for folk from all over.
There are workshops on Poi, Music and Drama, a mini Highland Games and Highland dancing, Tae Kwon Do and Body Pump demonstrations, an opportunity to test your fitness, Basketball and Five-a-side Football. We’re hoping to enter a footie team (S1 upwards) so if you are interested, let us know.
There will also be competitions and music, advice and information on substance abuse and other services - and, vitally, a Kiddies’ Corner and Creche. Plus lots more...
It promises to be a great day out, if the weather is kind, AND IT’S ALL FREE!
So do come along - best to book first.
Meanwhile the fishing group is doing well - an outing to Rothiemurchus on 17th May was great fun. Everyone caught a fish. There are spaces in the group just now, so if you are interested in the most popular sport (yes even more popular and with more active participants than football!) this is your chance.
All at mp33, June 2003
THERE are now regular skateboarding visits to the indoor facilities at Alness every third Wednesday. The next trip is on 4th June, then 25th June. We leave mp33 at 6.30pm - if you want to come, get a consent form organised in advance. For these contact mp33 - other details, speak to Caroline.
BRUCE, the IT man, has got all the computers up and running. He’s installed new games software, including the new Harry Potter, the new 3d Gamemaker, Fifa 2003 football games and more... Come and try them out!

During the Easter holidays mp 33 had a day out for young families at Abriachan. There was a bronze age house, an adventure trail, a bird hide and various walks to explore. Activities included a bug hunt and a treasure hunt. Rangers Hamish and Suzanne helped make it a great day out for everyone.
