BROOK has restarted its advisory service on Monday afternoons from 2pm-4pm. Remember, the term “morning-after pill” is a misnomer - in fact, emergency contraception can be taken up to 72 hours (three days) after the event, though it may be less effective by then.

FOOTBALL and circuit training sessions continue to be on Thursday evenings from 8pm to 10pm, based at Merkinch Community Centre. Anyone else interested in seeing the team develop is always welcome.

IT IS hoped to re-start Drop-in Evenings soon at mp33 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Keep watching the window for dates.

THE Ante-natal Clinic is still at mp33 on Thursdays from 2pm-3pm until Craigton Avenue reopens.

• INVERNESS College is offering taster sessions in their mechanical, hair and beauty, computer and leisure courses on Tuesday afternoon, 11th September 2pm to 4pm. If you are interested in going along, speak to Ivor Souter at mp33 or the Community Centre
• THERE has been considerable amount of interest in making provision for BMX riders in the West Field. Would any parents who are interested in progressing this idea as a group please get in touch with mp33 and speak to Gill or Cheryl.

Senior Youth Club reopens

THE Merkinch Senior Youth Club, controversially cancelled this spring because of staffing difficulties, is to reopen on Wednesday 12th September. The Community Centre-based club, which is open from 7.15pm to 9.15pm, is open to pupils from S1 and upwards.

The re-launching of the club has been made possible through mp33 and Community Education working together.
Says Gill, who is based at mp33, “This is a new session with new ideas, and if anyone has something in mind that they would like to do, please contact me any time after the 4th, when I get back from holiday. Or contact Margaret Mulholland at the New Community Schools office at the High School, tel 235554.”

• Meanwhile the Junior Youth Club reopens on Monday evenings, starting 10th September - ask at Merkinch Community Centre.
• This follows the Activity Club for Primary 1 to 3 pupils which is on from 5.30 to 7pm on Mondays, again starting on the 10th. Ring 239563 for more info.
