Events 17th February 2010

Falkland Bowling Club bingo tea & raffle. 7pm for 7.30pm start.

At the last Heart & Soul group meeting we shared some insights about the how in these transitional times we are in need of finding compassionate ways of listening and understanding each other.   A suggestion was made that before our next meeting we would watch ‘A collective Awakening'  a talk by the Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh on how the Five Mindfulness Trainings offer a concrete path of practice that can lead to a collective awakening, that can transforming our hatred, fear and greed, in turn bringing healing to ourselves and our planet, solving the problems of climate change, terrorism, and poverty at their root. The talk can be viewed at:   http://www.plumvillage.org/dharma-talks/video/238-a-collective-awakening-for-the-future-of-our-planet.html

Residents in East Fife are invited to come along to a series of drop-in events to find out more about the Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan in their local area. Fife Council Development Services has prepared Draft Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans for three conservation areas in north east Fife, including Central St Andrews, Cupar and Falkland. These appraisals are management tools to help to identify the special historic and architectural interest of an area and provide the basis for identifying a programme of actions and measures to protect and enhance the conservation area.

Copies of the Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans for the relevant area will be available for residents to read and comment on in the local libraries from Monday 15- Friday 19 February. Fife Council staff will be in attendance to answer any queries relating to the Conservation Area Appraisal in:
