A busy week ahead in Struan

Shopping Trip – Craft Night – Coffee morning – Xmas Lights Switch-on

Struan Xmas Shopping Trip to Inverness – Are you interested?

Fancy a day out? Join us for a day trip to Inverness, leaving Struan Green at 0800 hrs, arriving back at 2000-2100 hrs.

All are welcome, travel is free for all members of the Struan community. Friends of community members are welcome to come, for a small charge, if numbers allow for this.

The bus has space for 33 people, with storage for shopping underneath. We would need at least 20 people signed-up to make the transport viable. Otherwise, we will use the North West Skye minibus, which can carry up to 8 people and their shopping bags, in which case we would need a volunteer driver with D1 on their licence?

Deadline for response – 1st December 2024 please also advise whether you have a D1 license and are willing to drive.

Craft Night – Thursday 28th November 7-9pm

The next craft night will be on Thursday 28th November from 7-9pm. all are welcome.

Community Skip – Friday 15th November 2024

There will be a skip at the re-cycling point from Friday 15th December for use by Struan residents. Please do not leave anything outside the skip and do not fill it above the level of the sides as it will not be taken away. Also please note that there are many items that are not allowed in the skip (see note below). If any of these are found in the skip the community will be charged a substantial fee based on the weight of the whole skip. If this happens there will be no further Community Skips (which would be a shame).

The Struan Community Gala AGM will be held on Thursday 24th October at 7:30pm at the Struan Primary school.

There will be a proposal to dissolve the group as we have been running on minimum members for a number of years. If you would like the gala to continue in future years, now is the time to step up.
