Michele McDougall funeral service
The service will be at Lorimer Chapel at Warriston on Tuesday 5th June at 1.pm Everyone very welcome.
“A wonderful woman I first knew when she was chair of the Greater Pilton Childcare Action Group in the early 90s. She took up so many other causes over the years, in spite of ill health, and it was always an inspiration to talk with her , including at St. Columba’s earlier this month. Deepest condolences to Lauren; RIP Michelle.”
Malcolm Chisholm
I am so very sad to hear of Michelle’s passing .She was a really beautiful woman both inside and outside .We did keep in touch for a while through texts and occasionaly FB. I am thinking of her daughter whom Michelle introduced me to .She was a lovely person ,like her mother and had just completed her degree.
If you see this please know I am thinking of you .I am also thinking of Michelle who suffered so much pain but never it make her bitter She always saw the bright side of things .She will be so missed by everybody .So my condolences to hear family,friends and all who knew her .RIP Michelle – you deserve it .

Tomorrow at North Edinburgh Arts: United We Will Swim … Again
Power to the People group invite you to a screening of ‘United We Will Swim … Again’ tomorrow at 6.30 in North Edinburgh Arts.
The film tells the story of the long struggle by the Govanhill community of Glasgow to stop the closure of their local swimming pool. The pool was saved after local people occupied the building for 6 months. It eventually reopened and is now a thriving community facility.
The film is an inspirational story which provides a bit of hope and encouragement in terms of what can be achieved when people come together with a common purpose. A member of the campaign will attend the screening and will take part in a Question & Answer.
A bus has been arranged to take people to North Edinburgh Arts. The bus will leave Royston/Wardieburn Community Centre at 6pm. Anyone requiring transport should call the centre on 552 5700.
