The Activities and Recreation Club (ARC) run in Glendaruel Village Hall has just had its funding confirmed for this summer holidays! The programme of activities will include everything from Karate and Archery to Paper- and Felt-making, via Dance and Drama.

A timetable of activities is being prepared right now, but to register your interest in any of the events, please ring ARC on 01369 820 115

The Forestry Commission and The Walking Theatre Company teamed up to create an unique walk for Cowal Way Plus in mid-May.
