Nominations sought for

Methlick & District Community Council

Nominations are now being sought for all nine places on Methlick & District Community Council.

Community councils represent the views, and act on behalf, of local communities and are a crucial element in the democratic process.

As well as representing the community to the local authority, Community Councils facilitate a wide range of activities which promote the well-being of their communities. Community Councils advise, petition, influence and advocate numerous causes on behalf of local communities. 

Nomination papers are available from:

• Aberdeenshire Council
• 45 Bridge Street
• ELLON
• AB41 9AA

Nomination papers are also available from The Ythanview Hotel or the Costcutters Shop, which are both in Main Street in Methlick.

All nomination papers must be with the Returning Officer, Elaine Brown, at the 45 Bridge Street in Ellon by 5.00 p.m. on Friday, 21 October 2016.

Formartine Area Manager, Elaine Brown, said: “Community councillors can be your first point of contact when it comes to issues that matter in your area and provide another route for local views to feed in to the work of Aberdeenshire Council.

“I would urge people who live in the Methlick area and who are interested in what happens in their area to engage with the democratic process, and consider becoming a community councillor.”

Help with our Halloween Magic at Haddo

21, September 2016 at 3:05 pm · Filed under Notices

We’re on the hunt for volunteers to help with our Halloween Magic at Haddo event on Friday 21^st and Sunday 23^rd October (with a possible extra date on Saturday 22^nd October if the others are very popular…)

Granite City are lighting up the park with coloured lights and (hopefully) some special effects and we need woodland creatures, fairies, sprites, witches and wizards (good and evil) and trolls to populate the park. This will basically involve getting dressed up and having as much fun as you can!

If you’d like to sing, dance or perform that would be fantastic. Or take part in some simple games for the children- for example the children will have to talk to a sprite who will give them a ‘password’ so they can get past the troll and into another area of the park. Or just wander about looking atmospheric…

All children will be with their parents/responsible adult so you won’t be in charge of any kids or expected to run any specific activities.

The event is open from 7-9pm so ideally if you could be available an hour or so before to get organised and for a short time after that. We do have a small budget for costumes but if you’ve got your own that would be superb.

If you’d like to help out on either/both nights, or if you know someone who would then please get in touch.

I’m in and out of the office a bit but you can email or call 01651 851041 and leave a message on the answerphone if we’re not in.

Thanks,

Diana & Elaine
