With what could be one of the worst periods of weather we have experienced before the start of a season, I hope that this is sign that we’ve had all the rain, wind and snow! The Proclaimers claimed there was Sunshine on Leith, I’m praying for Sunshine for the SPCU! Volunteering In a time where cricket across the country is in decline, the onus on the same volunteer’s year on year increases. Whether it be, the captains who make sure that the team sheets are completed before the match; the scorers who complete the match return; the groundsman who prepares the best track possible or the coaches who give up their time to introduce and coach boys and girls who will become the future of our sport, from the SPCU committee – thank you! I would encourage anyone who can offer their time – please support your local club to make a difference. My final thank-you is to the volunteers who serve on various committees within the SPCU who put many hours of their own time to benefit the game. New Laws of the Game I’d like to publicly thank ESCOA for their insightful presentations on the new laws that were introduced from 1st October 2017. The SPCU have fully adopted the new Laws of the Game in all matches where ESCOA appoint umpires. I’m pleased that following our EGM vote that for matches whereby there is no ESCOA umpires are appointed, all the new penalty run provisions have been reversed. While there is no framework for clubs to deal with misconduct under Law 42, I would strongly encourage any instances of alleged misconduct to be reported to the Committee through the Competition Committee. I would strongly recommend that all those involved in the games take the time to read the new laws and regulations ahead of the start of the season. Sustainability of the Union I regret to inform the membership that following from the AGM, Callum Laing – our Commercial Sub-Committee Chair - indicated his intentions to resign due to other commitments. The SPCU continues to be a voluntary organisation and our committee require someone to push our Union forward on our communication and commerciality. Should anyone have the time and skills to assist us, please do contact me or any of the management committee, we would be delighted to hear from you. Strengthening our ties with Cricket Scotland The SPCU is delighted to have 2 of our management committee members continue to serve on the Board of Cricket Scotland. Both Bob and Gordon continue to ensure that our clubs interests and grass roots cricket are considered at the very top level. This strong link along with frequent presentations including at our most recent AGM shows both the SPCU’s and Cricket Scotland’s ambition to work together to benefit our great sport across Scotland. Representing the SPCU Following a very successful run of representative matches against our neighbours in NOSCA and ACA, we will be looking to continue our winning streak this season. We will lock horns with NOSCA on 5th August and ACA on 8th July. I look forward to inviting personally the players selected to represent our Union in these fixtures and I am sure that the young talent we have coming through the SPCU will be well represented in the team selected. I hope our paths cross during the season and should anyone have any ideas and is willing to assist the development of cricket locally, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me or any of the management committee. I wish all players, officials, clubs and supporters an enjoyable 2018 season. I wish all players, officials, clubs and supporters an enjoyable 2018 season.

  • 'Basis of Parish Grouping'
    Dear Church Member 2nd April 2021 With this letter you will find the Aberdeen West Churches ‘Basis of Parish Grouping’. The Aberdeen Presbytery Plan agreed last summer put in place a RoadMap for the congregations of Cults, Craigiebuckler, Kingswells, Mannofield and Peterculter covering the next 10 years. This moves through the stages of Grouping, Linkage (or Linkages), and finally the end objective of Union (or Unions) within the lifetime of the Plan. The Presbytery, in agreeing this Plan, endorsed the work and conclusions of our own Kirk Sessions that had established a Working Group to consider our shared future. We have reached the point of seeking agreement of the congregations to move into a Parish Grouping from this Summer. As you will note from the Basis of Grouping, the Administration and Ministry of our individual congregations does not in any way change at this stage. This Basis of Grouping allows us to continue our good work of the past year and to discover new ways to share in the responsibility of Outreach to our Parish areas. The Grouping allows us to support each other in our respective work and gives encouragement to seek new ways of growing our relationship and strength. Normally in the Church of Scotland when changes of this type are proposed and decided, after Kirk Sessions have agreed to the change, the members of the congregation are called to attend a congregational meeting at which a vote is taken. In these times this is not permissible and so the Church of Scotland has provided a ‘Protocol’ for allowing such changes to be discussed and agreed legally without the need of an ‘in-person’ meeting.

  • Posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir Were the Visitors to the Old Ground on Saturday As the SNCL Kicked Off for - Let's Hope - the Last Time
    Week one, win one [posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir were the visitors to the old ground on Saturday as the SNCL kicked off for - let's hope - the last time. The 'Loc hadn't played the maroon marauders from deepest darkest Larbert since 2003 as the clubs avoided each other in different divisions, and so it wasn't surprising that, bar respective veteran ever-presents Ferrier and Gardner, and Spence and Sheridan, the players on parade had no idea what to expect from each other. Mind you, that said, the two sides' pro's were rivals back in South African domestic cricket. Brian Spence's first job was - of course - to lose the toss, or more accurately watch as his Stennie counterpart win it. Batting. Why? Probably the visitors' skipper thinking being that wet weather in the days leading up to the game must've meant there was "something" in the pitch. And of course he was right; what was in it was water. Lots of it. HoVR opened with Captain Spence, and 15 was on the 'board when the latter was cleaned up by Angus [Ed: that's his surname!]. Dan then came and went for 2 and it was 28 for 2 when Bean joined the pro'. 26 runs later and HoVR had his fourth batting partner of the day as Nichty strode out. Determined to show that his deck was perfectly playable the Big Man would go on to top score in the innings, batting with almost as many partners as HovR - his 32 added to Hancke's 31 and Maddy 's 27 late on being the three scores around which a defendable total were built.

  • The Church Newsletter of Peterculter Parish Church March 2020
    FOCUS The Church Newsletter of Peterculter Parish Church March 2020 MARCH 2020 FOCUS Dear Friends I would like to record my sincere thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the church look so lovely over Christmas, including the Flower Team and the Property Team. Thanks must also go to our Young Church for the excellent Nativity Play and it was great to see so many children taking part. I would also like to thank all those involved in the redecoration of the church and installation of new lights. In particular, thanks must go to Lorrie Bilsborrow who oversaw the redecoration work. The Presbytery Plan is proposing a union between ourselves, Cults, Craigiebuckler, Mannofield and Kingswells. This is a major proposal and requires a lot of thought. It proposes that all the buildings (apart from Kingswells) are retained, but that one charge is created with a team ministry. It would mean a major change in the way that we operate as a church. The Kirk Session will be discussing this soon and I will keep you posted on developments. Finally, and most importantly, I’m delighted that a Youth Alpha course has started up in the church, led by our student assistant Fiona Lister. This is great news and should be encouraging for all of us. We are very fortunate to have a small group of young people still active in the congregation. We are also fortunate to have Fiona, who is doing such a great job in our congregation. Yours sincerely John Ferguson Traidcraft The Senior Young Church continue to run the Traidcraft stall here at the church.

  • Hazlehead Consultation Frequently Asked Questions
    Aldi Stores Ltd Hazlehead, Countesswells Road Hazlehead Consultation Frequently Asked Questions This document will be updated following the consultation event with any questions asked at that event not included below. It supplements the information which is contained on the display boards, also available on the website. 01/07/2020 - This Q+A has been updated following submission of the formal application. Any changes are identified by red text. The proposals 1. What are the proposals? Aldi have applied for detailed planning permission for the erection of a new discount foodstore, parking, access, landscaping and associated works. The current Aldi proposal is for a small local scale foodstore with a gross floorspace of 1,868sqm (21,463 sqft) gross / 1,315 sqm (14,154 sqft) net foodstore, with 101 parking bays. 2. What type of planning application has been submitted? A detailed planning application has now been submitted, and can be viewed on the Aberdeen City Council Planning portal at https://publicaccess.aberdeencity.gov.uk/online- applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=QBTM78BZIAI00. Due to the size of the proposals, the scheme is only a ‘local’ scale development in terms of the planning regulations. As a result, there is no statutory need to undertake pre-application consultation. The consultation that was undertaken is therefore a voluntary undertaking by Aldi to ensure that the local community is appropriately informed of the facts concerning their proposals and could make comments to help inform the final scheme, before they are lodged with the Council. Please note – Now that the formal application has been submitted, comments can be made directly to the Council.
