Funding boost

The playgroup was awarded funding for arts materials and musical instruments through North Ayrshire Council community funding. Time for an upgrade to our resources, with some great artwork and sweet music to follow.

Well done to other groups in Skelmorlie that secured funding for the village and surrounding community at a special event at Largs Academy - Skelmorlie Singers, Skelmorlie Camera Club and Skelmorlie Observer Post.

Tennis

Thanks for everyone joining the last tennis session of the season at Skelmorlie tennis club last week. It was great to see so many enthusiastic kids on the courts this season!

The club would like to continue tennis coaching throughout the Winter and wonder who would be interested to sign up if there was to be be fun coaching in the school on Wednesday afternoons. Please let the club know at their Facebook page, and they can see if there is a demand for these sessions.

Abigail's Party

Attic Players are delighted to announce that tickets for their next production ‘Abigail’s Party’ are now on sale. Set in 1977, this iconic play by Mike Leigh will be performed by the club at Skelmorlie Community Centre on Thursday 10th, Friday 11th and Saturday 12th November, starting at 7.30pm.

Tickets for the party cost £9 (includes the first refreshment) and can be obtained online from www.ticketsource.co.uk/atticplayers or from several local shops – Bluestone in Largs, the Medical Hall and Premier Store in Skelmorlie and the Wemyss Bay Pharmacy. If there are tickets left on the nights of the performance they will cost £10 on the door. However, Attic Players expect a huge demand for tickets so early purchase is recommended! More details are available from www.atticplayers.com or from the club’s Facebook page.
