Yass! We have a voucher for Soup and a Sandwich from this fabulous Cafe – you could win it in our Raffle tonight.
It is valid until 18 September 2017 however we are sure you won’t be able to wait that long to go and give it a try.
Remember to let us know what you think, or maybe leave a wee review on their Facebook Page.
Food @ 75 is located in the heart of Kirkintilloch, opposite the main entrance to the Regent Centre.
OK, who can remember this one, Ding Dong? Apparently from 1956!
Well, speed right back up to present day and an Avon Lady from just outside Newcastle has donated a basket of goodies to help Memory Fest ’17 raise money for Alzheimer Scotland.
Thanks Sammi, much appreciated!
Well if you have read this week’s Kirkintilloch Herald you will have done.
It was lovely for Cathy to receive a phone text from one of her friends and a good supporter of ours to say that we were in the paper!
Here is a photo, but please go out and buy a copy of your own to read it in full.
We can’t see it online yet, but if we spot it we will be sharing it too!
We did look around at alternative venues for Memory Fest ’17 however Club Bliss was still the venue of choice for our supporters and the bands that will be playing on the evening.
Ryan and his team have promised to look after us again this year and make it a night to remember.
But, why not look at the other events they have on? There is always something good to look forward to, they really are the go to venue for live music in Kirkintilloch.
The Scottish Pink Floyd, Clyde 1’s Michael Smith, Zander Nation, The Complete Stone Roses, George Bowie, Hells Bells are just some of the great names that have preformed or are due to perform at the Club – keep an eye out to see who will be next!
“Best Tea Room in Scotland” according to one of the many reviews I have seen for this lovely cafe.
The Tea Cosy is located in the centre of Milngavnie on Douglas Street and serves traditional all day breakfasts, light lunches, freshly made sandwiches, hot and cold rolls, homemade soups and delicious homemade scones and cakes, arghhh the list goes on and one!
Anne and Jim have very kindly provided a voucher for someone to win in the Memory Fest ’17 raffle – Tea/Coffee and Cake for two people.
How delicious do those scones look?
The lovely Cathy called in to have a chat with the owner of this fairly new Fast Food place on Cowgate, Kirkintilloch and came out with another Raffle Prize for Memory Fest ’17!
So, to win a meal up to the value of £10 at San Marco, you need to buy some raffle tickets at the event on 30 April 2017 at Club Bliss – and then keep your fingers crossed.
The menu looks good, and reading the reviews on Just Eat it looks like everyone agrees too.
OK, who wants a fish supper?
How about a professional Gent’s Hair Cut and Shave from The Master Barber on Alexandra Street in Kirkintilloch?
Scott and his team have over 16 years experience and this is clear from the reviews that you can read. Whether is is a traditional cut or maybe something more adventurous like a tribal design cut, you can be sure of being looked after very well in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Walk-in service is available, plus the on line appointment service, but for this special prize offer you will be better to call and arrange an appointment to make sure there is availability suitable for you!
Not one, but two five pound gift vouchers to be used at Cafe Ghiloni’s for food and drink! Yes, that is just one of the prizes donated for our Raffle at the Memory Fest ’17 event this month.
Based at 77, Townhead, Kirkintilloch, Ghiloni’s have a sit-in cafe where you can enjoy anything from an authentic Italian coffee to a freshly prepared main meal. In addition to this, they have a take-away ice-cream parlour where you can pop–in and enjoy the treats of the main menu on the go!
We believe they also offer home delivery too. So, if you want to enjoy a warm Ghiloni’s meal in the comfort of your home, then you can now have it delivered to your door! Just phone in between 5pm and 10pm, Monday to Sunday and you can have your favourite meals brought directly to you. (Best check that the vouchers can be used for this service before you order though – why not give them a call first on 0141 775 1158?)
Did you know there is another event, supported by Home Instead Senior Care, taking place this month to raise money for Alzheimer Scotland?
It is being organised by Lisa, one of their carers and takes place at Hayston Golf Club in Kirkintilloch on 22 April from 7pm until late.
There will be a DJ, Raffles and some fabulous Auction prizes!
Tickets are £10 and include a buffet and tea from Katie’s Kitchen – Contact Lisa on 0754 763 4737 for more information and tickets.
(This event is not connected with Memory Fest ’17, we are just promoting another worthwhile event raising money for Alzheimer Scotland!)
The money we raise at Memory Fest ’17 will only scratch the surface of what is required … they need £15,000 a day to fund their vital work. That’s not say they will not be really grateful to receive whatever we raise, whether it is £2, £2,000 or £20,000 (OK, I’m getting carried away, I know we won’t reach £20,000!).
With our help, Alzheimer Scotland aims to make sure nobody faces dementia alone. They provide support services and information for people with dementia, their families and friends throughout Scotland. They also campaign for the rights of people with dementia and carers.
A local Dementia Adviser can:
They also provide a 24 hour Dementia Helpline this is a freephone Scottish service for people with dementia, carers, relatives, professionals, students and anyone concerned about dementia.
The number is on the image above, but if you are calling from an ex-directory number you should apparently dial 1470 before dialling the helpline number.
