A few of the items which have appeared over the years, with various

editors, include Kate Rook’s 100th birthday in March, 1979; the Parish

Church ceiling caving in and the use of the Village Hall (the old Free Church)

for communion on May 4th, 1980; the eventual filling-in of the notorious

pot-holes on Church Road; farewell to the Galloways after more than thirty

years devoted service to the community in September, 1981; the sale of the

manse in 1982 and the making of the car park at the Kirk in 1984.

It is no slight to the other editors to say that during Mr. Galbraith’s period

as editor “Kirk & Community” was a social history ot the village; an those

who have kept it alive should be thanked for the part they have played in

helping to keep the village a community. In addition to the editors, all those

who deliver the newsletter should be thanked and Guardbridge Paper Mills who

have given the paper since the first issue in 1969 deserve thanks for

their generosity.
