In the August 2019 Newsletter, available in the shops on Saturday 27 July...

We have a smaller than average Newsletter for you this month, with many organisations taking a break for the summer. However, there´s plenty going on in and around Kinross-shire during August and September, so don´t miss out on the fun - make sure you get your copy!

The first of our big events is that perennial highlight of the Kinross-shire rural calendar, the Kinross Show. Once again the show will be held at RSPB Vane Farm, and there´ll be lots to see and do for all the family. You´ll find full details of the show programme, plus information on the free bus service to get you to and from the show, in your Newsletter.

Those of you who love messing about in boats will be looking forward to the annual Mary, Queen of Scots ´The Great Escape´ Boat Race, which will take place in Kirkgate Park at the beginning of September. As always, one member of the crew (whether male or female) must be dressed as Mary - the perfect chance for all you blokes to get in touch with your feminine side! If you fancy your chances on the water, pick up a copy of your Newsletter to find out more!

As ever, you´ll also find our usual mix of councillors´ reports, local and community news, views, sport and features. The Newsletter is your essential guide to what´s happening in and around Kinross-shire, so don´t miss out on the fun - make sure you get your copy!

Enjoy your Newsletter - all the best from the Team, until next month.
