TILLICOULTRY Community Week kicked-off with a bang at the weekend.

Now in its third year, the week of free activities, events, learning and volunteering aims to foster a greater sense of community within the town.

It began on Sunday (10 August) with a Messy Church session which included an afternoon of movies, talks and crafts in Tillicoultry Baptist Church, with a theme of water.

This was followed by an evening BBQ and freshly made crepes courtesy of Tillicoultry Twinning Group, Tillycoeur.

The community week programme runs until Sunday 17 August and there is plenty for everyone to get involved in, such as relaxation classes, a beer festival, scone making workshop, golf and more.

The twinning group’s French guests will also pay a visit, the Scottish Golden Oldies Rugby Tournament is on Saturday (16 August) and highlight Tilly in the Park takes place on Friday (15 August).All the details are on the website www.tillicoultrycommunityweek.btck.co.uk and the Facebook page.
