Meanwhile At Bignold Park, Wick A Traditional
Hogmanay Bonfire
Iain Sutherland former chairman of the Wick Society has for the past 15
years organised the bonfire at Bignold Park, Wick to bring in the New
Year. One the council organised this but after it was discontinued
Iain took up yet another challenge to keep the tradition going. It
was a very successful night last night with up to 100 folk bringing in the
New Year and many others arriving to say hello and have a dram by the
blazing fire.

Dunnet Switches On Christmas Lights
  The
Christmas Lights At Dunnet were switched on
this year by Lillian Oag. A smaller than
usual group turned out for the switch on
that has to be set for four o'clock to
coincide with the street lights coming on as
the decorations are attached to the
lampposts. A smaller turnout than
usual was caused by the fact that many
children were attending Christmas Party in
the Viewfirth club in Thurso. The
lights committee at Dunnet have for the past
few years been erecting and maintaining the
lights that now stretch to every lamppost in
the village. Santa was on hand for the
children.

Milton Children's Christmas Party
 Milton
Children had their Christmas Party at Staxigoe Hall where the recently
installed bouncy castle is proving to be great draw. Santa was on
hand to give out the presents although this year the number of children
was down due to the bug that has hit many of the county schools. A
few of the children could not make the party this year and presents will
be delivered to them at home. Anyone thinking about a party should
think about Staxigoe Hall as the hire is cheap and you can hire the bouncy
castle as well. Electricity is paid on meter and the folk from
Milton thought it was very good value for their party.
HAVE A GREEN CHRISTMAS - Recycling Arrangements In
Caithness Over The Holidays
Over the Christmas period it is estimated that we will produce
approximately 30% more waste than usual. In the UK,1 billion Christmas
cards will be sent, 10 million turkeys will be sold 83 square kilometres
of wrapping paper used, seven and a half million trees bought, an extra
750 million bottles, glass containers and 500 million drink cans used.
Most of these items are thrown in to people's bins and end up on landfill
sites. However, up to 60% of the waste that is thrown away can be recycled
or composted.

Thurso Players Pantomime 2005 Snow White
   
Thurso Players take to the stage of Thurso High School this
evening with their production of Snow White. The script, written by
Stephen Reade, differs somewhat from the traditional version and is
packed with subtle humour. There’s Snow White of course and her aunt
and arch nemesis, the wicked Queen. Then there’s the Huntsman, hired
by the Queen to dispose of Snow White before she turns 16 and
inherits the castle and all the wealth of the Kingdom. There’s
love interest in the form of Brad Hill (Glyn Jackson) and a not so
charming Prince Colin Pratt of Burnside (Iain MacDonald). A couple
of strangely familiar brothers from Manchester, Noel and Liam, make
an appearance from time to time intent on ‘splatting’ a demented
Midge who continually invades the stage. Then there’s the seven, or
is it eight, dwarves and ………………….. well, for the rest you’ll just
have to come along and see for yourselves.
Snow White runs nightly at 7.30pm from Wednesday 14th to Saturday
17th December with a Matinee performance at 2.00pm on Saturday
afternoon. Tickets are still available from McBeath’s Jewellers,
Traill Street, Thurso but don’t leave it until the last minute as
they are going fast.
Snow White, not yer’ average Panto!
