    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • Projects Funded
    NorthConnect Legacy Fund Summary of Awards 2017-2020 Between 2017 and 2020, £59,907 has been awarded by the NorthConnect Legacy Fund to community groups benefiting the Fund area. Some examples showing the range of activities funded are shown below, followed by a full list of awards. Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust: Rescue boat engine In 2017, the Fund awarded Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust £1,000 towards a rescue boat engine to support activities taking place at the Trust’s Peterhead centre. The cover provided by the rescue boat meant that the Trust was able to deliver taster sessions for schools, RYA courses, race training and RYA junior sailing courses. The boat supported disabled schools sailing and weekly disability club. 538 people of various ages benefited. The vital role of the rescue boat was highlighted in an incident in September 2019, when a sudden squall caused three dinghies to capsize, throwing ten teenage sailors into the water. This prompted the emergency services to launch a large scale response, involving helicopters and lifeboats. However, the Trust’s instructors were able to use the rescue boat to get everybody quickly and safely ashore without injury or the assistance of emergency services. Following the incident, the Buchan Coastguard issued a statement saying that “This incident had the potential to be far more serious in outcome except for some key factors… We would like to thank those involved for being properly equipped.” Press and Journal; 6 September 2019; Instructors praised as 10 teens rescued from North Sea in ‘violent storms’. Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden In 2017, the Fund awarded the Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden £400 toward fencing and equipment.

New Pitsligo & St John’s Primary School School Street New Pitsligo Fraserburgh Aberdeenshire AB43 6NE Tel: 01771 653232 Fax: 01771 653775 [email protected] www.newpitsligo-st-johns.aberdeenshire.sch.uk 19th April 2018 Dear Parents/Carers, We are really enjoying the sunny start to our new term. Please remember, if your child is likely to burn, please put sun cream on in the morning as we do not put sun cream on in school. Alas the warm weather may not stay and we can easily have four seasons in one day in our playground so it is a good idea to still being a coat every day. Reports: You will receive two copies of your child’s report. Please sign and return one copy to school. Safety: Please do not cut through the staff car park to come into the playground. There are cars coming in and out all day and so it is not a safe short cut. Also, parents are asked not to park in the staff car park as spaces are limited. Parents Evening: Parents evening takes place on Thursday 26th April and appointments will be issued shortly. After School Clubs: Football continues after school on Thursdays. Purple Mash computer club restarts for P4 – P7 pupils on Tuesdays from Tuesday 1st May 3pm – 4pm. Choir will begin for P3 - P7 pupils from 3pm – 3.45pm on Thursdays from Thursday 10th May.
