We'll be taking an Easter Holiday, so there will be no Bunavullin Library this weekend. If you are all out of reading material there is a small but choice collection of books (and DVDs) in the Wee Free Telephone Box Library at Drimnin Bay.

UPDATE: Thank you to all the speakers (some diverse topics) and for all who came to support this event. It was very well attended and we look forward to the next set



PechaKucha Night
NEW DATE - Saturday 1st March, 2025
Licensed bar from 7.30pm, 8pm Presentation
Suggested donation £5 or what you can

The PechaKucha format was developed by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham in Tokyo in 2003 as a concise way of sharing knowledge and enthusiasm. PechaKucha means "the sound of conversation" or "chit-chat" in Japanese. We have organised for 10 individuals, who will share a personal presentation about a topic of their choice. Each presenter shows 20 twenty slides for twenty seconds, which means each presentation is only 6 minutes 40 seconds long. Come and join us for Drimnin’s very first PechaKucha Night! Who knows what you may find out and perhaps you will be inspired to speak at a future event.

Bus leaving Lochaline at 7pm - please book via [email protected]

Burn’s Night
Saturday 25th January, 6:30pm
£10 for a traditional haggis dinner and a dram
BYOB

We are yet to fill the usual line up of Burn’s Night speakers. But there is no time like the present - the floor is still open! Here is your chance to showcase your talents; maybe you’d like to read some poetry, sing a song or perform an interpretive dance? You can choose to stick to the traditional Burn’s format (Tam o' Shanter anyone?!) or maybe you have some of your own works you’d like to share (instruments welcome!) or perhaps you’d like to read something by someone who inspires you.

Last year we got through 5kg of tatties but we need your help!
Please RSVP by Tuesday 21st January so we can get peeling!
Vegetarian options are of course available.
