With there rides they were at Turiff show this year. I was in also in Inverness. And I was in Aberdeen shopping, it was boring. We had visitors visiting us in Macduff in our new home. It was good to see them again. We had lots of nice days out. It is nice to be back to my work and see my friends. By Ian

Alan at work at Boyndie kitchen

I work at Boyndie on Wednesday in the kitchen. I love Boyndie kitchens its good to work in. I love it a lot its good fun. I do a lot of work and I like working with Doug. I sort the salads, do the dishes and take the orders out to the tables. When I am in the kitchen I chop up the carrots and grate the cheese. I also peel the onions and chop them ready to go into the pan. I like to take the orders out to customers. I like to keep busy in the kitchen.

Banff Service Users Management Committee - Well Done!

The Macduff branch of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution receved a £500 boost from the Banff Service Users Management Committee. The money was raised from the committee's Spring doo auction. Colin Dey, of the committee, handed over the cheque to Coxswain Andrew (Chassey) Findlay at the lifeboat unit's Thursday night meet, watched by members of the committee and the lifeboat crew. Members received a demonnstration on how the boat is launched and saw it in action around the harbour.
