IT’S the High Forest Show at Allenheads on Saturday, September 5, with all of the fun associated with this tremendous village show.

Included is a rather fine dog show, open to all-comers, though only those with four legs and a wet nose!

You can find more information on handouts available at the Hemmel Cafe, Sinderhope Community Centre, Allendale Co-op and the post office. It’s not to be missed!

DON’T forget the other fantastic shows this month: Allendale Agricultural Show tomorrow and the Allendale Horticultural and Industrial Show on Saturday, August 22.

DESPITE the recent upgrading of broadband services, it seems there are still a lot of people in the parish to whom this is not available.

At the next Allendale Parish Council meeting, in September, there will be a discussion on how this service can be extended to outlying properties.

FOR inclusion here, please email your news to glynngalley@gmail.com or drop a note into Crosskeys on Shield Street.
