Lost Carving Knife

stephen — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:23:55 +0100

A similar knife from the same set

A ~~bone handled carving knife~~ Anolon carving knife with a SureGrip^TM handle was lost after the gala ceilidh. It had been used for carving the hog roast and was left in the tent overnight. It disappeared some time on Sunday morning.

The knife has sentimental value, so could everyone please check their kitchen drawers and let us know if it turns up.

Cartie Challenge Rounds Off Great Gala Weekend

stephen — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:26:15 +0100

Karaoke, cowboys and carties combined to create a memorable gala in Catterline last weekend. The few occasional showers were not enough to dampen the spirits of the villagers as they enjoyed three days of fun and festivities from Friday night’s “Talent in the Tent” through to Sunday’s renowned Catterline Cartie Challenge.

“Talent in the Tent” – an informal evening of quizzes, karaoke and dancing - kicked off the festivities and gave young and old a chance to relax and have fun. The kids delighted by MC Tommy as he distributed sweeties and glow sticks while the grown ups sampled the real ales provided by CAMRA award winning landlord of the Creel Inn and the Marine Hotel, Robert Lindsay.

The theme of Saturday’s Gala was the Wild West, with the eye-catching “Catterline Saloon”, created from materials kindly donated by Deeside Timber, providing the perfect backdrop to the Northern Roughriders as they delighted the crowds with their displays of gunslinging and bar room brawling while the brave or foolhardy tried to stay atop the mechanical rodeo bull generously sponsored by Petrotechnics. The day was brought to an end with the spectacular Lucky Duck Chuck which sees 500 plastic ducks fired from a medieval catapult, followed – to the delight of all the children – by hundreds of sweets.
