Almost four hundred local people took part in Friday’s Muirhouse Million Steps event. Local schools were well represented on the walk, which was also supported by Edinburgh Western MSP Colin Keir.
And did those marching feet make the magical million milestone? We’ll have to wait until next week to find out! Event organiser Lisa Arnott, Pilton Community Health Project’s Healthy Lifestyles coordinator, has promised to be in touch soon.
Some photographs of the event:
The Drylaw Cookery group have just launched their first ever Cooking Recipe Calendar.
Project worker Elizabeth graham said “The group has been running on Wednesday evening for approximately 2 years. The group is made up of men and woman, aged from 15 upwards, who come together to share recipes and learn cooking skills form one another. We have guests visiting regularly to show us their delicious dishes from around the world. Our cookery evenings are a fantastic way to meet new friends, help bring the community together and are a fun social event too.”
The group were awarded sponsorship from State Street Bank who very kindly printed 200 Calendars for the group to sell to raise money for the centre and Susan Paul from State Street said “State Street is delighted to support the Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre with the production of their 2012 calendar. Active engagement within our communities is one of State Streets fundamental values. ”
Calendars are priced £2.00 and can be bought directly from the centre.
If you would like more information on the Cookery Group or any other services at Drylaw call the centre on 315 4989.
