The Electoral Commission
Local residents are being warned not to
lose their voice on decisions that affect them by making
sure their electoral registration details are up to date.
With Scottish local government elections taking place in
May 2022, this is an important opportunity for residents
to make sure they can take part.
The Electoral Registration Officer will be getting in touch
with every household to check that the electoral register
is up to date, and to identify any residents who should
be registered but are currently missing. With all nationalities
now able to vote in Scottish Parliament and council elections,
this will be an important opportunity to ensure these new
voters can get onto the electoral register before next year’s
Scottish Parliament election...... see

 Bridge
Clubs Start Up in the Planning
With
lockdown the value to our mental health and general well being
of the weekly sessions of Milnathort Bridge Club and Kinross
Bridge Club have been brought to light. While a number of
the members have been playing ‘Bridge on Line’
this is not a full replacement for face to face bridge. The
social aspect, the company of like minded people and the spirit
of the friendly competition has been missed by all.
Both
Clubs are currently working together, in conjunction with
the Scottish Bridge Union, to set in place a sound and safe
policy for the return to play. The SBU has issued an in-depth
Risk Assessment document laying out how Clubs throughout
Scotland could operate. Milnathort and Kinross Clubs, working
with their venue managers, have adapted this to facilitate
the safe return to Club meetings for their members and will
continually update the plans as circumstances change.
It
is envisaged that a phased return will take place when the
respective Club Committees feel it is safe to do so. Every
member will be kept informed and additional help needed
to carry out all the extra work involved.
If you are a bridge player and would like to know more about
the clubs, please contact Gloria Wilson 01577 862553 or
Catriona Marshall 01577 864482.
CHAS
are looking for retail and retail driver volunteers. See
here for further details.

having a meal cooked for them occasionally?

people have now registered to provide meals in the Kinross-shire

Diners can sign up themselves or be referred by a family member,
friend, social services or any statutory organisation. Even
if they are receiving support from another organization they
can have meal makers too.
