Members of Carrick Speakers Club enjoyed an excellent evening last Thursday evening at their first meeting of the New Year.
A Night of reels at Kirkbride house, near Crosshill, raised over £500 for local training agency May-Tag.
Fifteen members of Maybole OIR's walking group trekked in the Dailly area last week - led by well-known Carrick historian David Hunter.
A controversial plan to build almost 100 new homes in Maybole will go ahead - despite claims it could cost lives.
Six-way benefit from roadworks. An upgrade begins on Monday at a Maybole junction where six streets meet.
LEGION PLANS 80TH BIRTHDAY PARADE.
MAYBOLE branch of the Royal British Legion (Scotland) is the oldest in the UK.
Alpha course a hit in Maybole. An internationally-acclaimed course on Christianity has just been complete by a group of people in Maybole.
Maybole geared up for postal voting. All of Maybole's community councillors are due to give up their seats in March. Dice one ... lucky Jim wins a car! Wee James Macaulay is riding high on dad Jim's shoulders. And Jim will soon be sitting comfortably, too - behind the wheel of a brand new car he won with an amazing throw of the dice.
LOOKING BACK. 25 YEARS AGO: Carrick Speakers Club's first meeting of 1976 is in the new Burns Lounge of the premises in Maybole's Whitehall with Girven the guests.

Alan's double 'Bole's 'em out. Maybole AFC 3, Balmore AFC 2. Alan Brownlee grabbed a double and assisted with another as Maybole raced to a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes. |  |
LOOKING BACK. 100 YEARS AGO. The vanman who previously failed to appear at Maybole Burgh Court on a charge of leaving his horses unattended in High Street on December 28, 1900 is fined ... |
French walker puts on a show to say 'merci'. Frenchman Joel Buton believes in peace on earth - and he's making his point .... Joel Buton proves he really is hard as nails as he allows THREE Maybole folk to press him into a bed of nails. Andy's new slant on council tacks! Busy month for the Tackety Bits. No, Councillor Andy Hill isn't trying to collect council tax from a reluctant resident! The South Ayrshire Council leader is actually supporting a man's dream for world peace. Another nail-biting experience as this young woman stands on Joel's head!
