On Tuesday 31st May 2011 we have planned a “fly tying” night at the Cramond Boat Club, starting at 19:30 and finishing around 22:00.

The AGM will be held at the Cramond Boat Club, starting at 19:30 (Members Only).

We have secured the Cramond Boat Club hall (Cramond foreshore opposite where the boats are berthed) for the evening of Monday 25th October 2010 Starting at 7.30pm till 10pm ish.

All members welome no need for kit as its a try out night as well as a demonstration of what works on the Almond, although it would help if tyers brought their kit.

We will cover a selection of flies that work for the broons and sea trout and when someone gets a salmon on the fly and shares the secret i no doubt we will replicate that too!

This is also an idea oportunity for new members to meet some of the guys who have had a bit of success this year on the river and get the “gen” and an ideal oportunity to put names to faces.

In order to cover costs (hall hire) can we have a donation of £1.50 with the balance going to Yorkhill Hospital
I reckon we will have a decent turn out but to gauge the number of tables to set up please e-mail you intention to attend to, millarlaing@blueyonder.co.uk

Unfortunately the bar will not be open ..i dont see this as a major issue as most of us will be driving there.

Keep Scotland Beautiful and West Lothian Council calls for volunteers to clean up River Almond from Livingston Rugby Club to the Civic Centre.

Keep Scotland Beautiful, and West Lothian Council is calling for the people of Livingston to don yellow tabards and help spring clean their local area of litter on April 24th 2010 at 10am-2pm.

Tired of the crisp bags, juice bottles and other litter that is spoiling River Almond at Livingston, Keep Scotland Beautiful and West Lothian Council decided to organise a clean up event as part of Keep Scotland Beautiful’s National Spring Clean 2010.

Ian Stewart said, “We want to encourage as many volunteers as possible to come and take part in our spring clean.  Litter removal from Scotland’s streets costs over £100million a year which could be spent on other services. We hope our clean up will show others that we have pride in Livingston and by working together we can take responsibility for our surroundings and show that dropping litter is unacceptable.”

Keep Scotland Beautiful and West Lothian Council will be joining hundreds of other community groups, schools, youth clubs, environmental organisations, voluntary groups, businesses and individuals who will be spring cleaning their local areas during April.

In fact, last April almost 60,000 volunteers took part in clean up events as part of Keep Scotland Beautiful’s National Spring Clean. And they gathered enough litter to fill 28,819 standard wheelie bins – proving that even each individual volunteer’s small contribution really does make a huge difference.

If you are looking for a fun, family day out this April 24th, why not join the tens of thousands of people taking part in National Spring Clean and put a bit of a sparkle back
into your local neighbourhood? For further press information please contact Ian Stewart, Environmental Warden, West Lothian Council on 01506 776485 ian.stewart@westlothian.gov.uk or Ian Young Flood Risk Management on 01506 776580 ian.young@westlothian.gov.uk.

National Spring Clean will take place throughout Scotland between 1st – 30th April 2010 and full details can be found at www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/springclean
