Muirhouse moves to Ratho!

Muirhouse Community Centre delivered two JASS (Junior Award Scheme for Schools) group residentials to Pilton Retreat, Ratho over the Easter (writes James McGinty). There was an all girls group and the other was all boys. Each group spent three days and two nights at Ratho and had a great time. It is hoped that we will be able to repeat this format with another four groups as part of our summer programme. Continue reading Muirhouse moves to Ratho!

More than a feast …

The Millennium Centre’s outside catering team swung into action for our local church (Old Kirk & Muirhouse) at the weekend, creating a cold buffet to cater for 60 (writes James McGinty).

Originally prepared for Saturday, there was enough to serve the Sunday congregation next day!  John, Chris and Dale were responsible for this ongoing service to the community.

Shoogalie Road Productions: The life and songs of “Judy Garland” 

Yesterday saw the return of Shoogalie Road Productions at the Centre for “The Loose Women”.

The performance was based on the life and songs of Judy Garland (Ethel Milne Gumm) performed by Emma Conway. Songs included “Zing went the strings of my heart“, “You made me love you”, songs from the “Wizard of Oz “Somewhere over the rainbow”, “Good Morning, Good Morning”, “I got Rhythm “, “Clang, Clang went the trolley” and many more

The story telling of Judy’s life between songs made this a very creditable and enjoyable performance by Emma.
