Check out the new Pencaitland Parents page

There’s a new Facebook page especially for mums, dads and extended friends and family living in or near Pencaitland and other nearby communities of Boggs Holdings, New Winton and Peastonbank / Glenkinchie.

Pencaitland Parents on Facebook - click to check it out

Called Pencaitland Parents it’s hoped that over time it will become a useful message board for parents with kids of all ages to share information on both school and non-school events and activities in and around the village and other communities in the immediate area.

Of course, not everyone likes (excuse the pun) using Facebook. For those not so keen on it, we recommend following Pencaitland Parent Council on Twitter.

Help Cubs & Beavers return to Pencaitland

Can you spare a couple of hours a week to help the youth of the village and keep them occupied? Not that long ago Pencaitland had a thriving Beaver Colony and Cub Pack. However both closed due to lack of leaders.

We’ve been asked by Heather Jackson and Fiona Hopkinson of ADC Cubs to pass on their plea to the people of Pencaitland, Boggs Holdings, New Winton and Glenkinchie…

“Our plea is to try and resurrect both Beavers and Cubs within Pencaitland as both Haddington and Tranent are unable to meet demand and both have waiting lists that are bursting at the seams!!

We are looking for interested parties, male or female aged 18+ who are enthusiastic, motivated and like children to get involved with the Scout movement. No experience is necessary as full training is given.

If you would like more information or think this could be you then please email Heather Jackson at heather.1963@live.co.uk or Fiona Hopkinson at email@davidhopkinson@live.co.uk.

Thanks

Heather Jackson and Fiona Hopkinson
ADC Cubs”
