January Newsletter
Who would have predicted that we would be in another Lockdown, this time last year? To say it has been an 'interesting' year is a bit of an understatement. EckO hopes that you are all in good health and spirits and focusing on the future. With that in mind EckO would like to draw your attention to what you can do now and some things to look forward to.
Inverawe ROMP
The Inverawe ROMP has been extended until Sunday 7th March. Enjoy a visit to Inverawe in the beautiful Spring sunshine. Please note that there has been some wind blow so care is needed in places.
Notification of the AGM and what does the new lockdown mean for you and EckO?
