AULD ABERNETHY ASSOCIATION
It is hoped the association’s meetings will resume in October of this year. This will obviously depend on whether or not there are still restrictions in place. The museum interior does not lend itself to social distancing so the committee will take this into consideration when plans are being made for the reopening.

AULD ABERNETHY ASSOCIATION
After much hand wringing and gnashing of teeth it has been decided not to have any meetings in the new year. We did consider having a meeting in February, March and April but the Museum of Abernethy interior does not lend itself to socially distancing due to the small seating area. It is with much regret we have to make this decision. I sincerely hope we can resume again in the autumn of 2022. To all our members have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Jimmy Swan (Chair)
