| CHARITY CONCERT |
| Kilmarnock Aeolian Male Voice Choir have invited the Shrewsbury Police Choir to join with them in a concert of fine music and song. The police were delighted to accept the invitation but insisted that any proceeds go to local charities. The Aeolian boys jumped at the opportunity to nominate Woodstock School and Ayrshire Cancer Support as benefactors. Alasdair Smith, the choir secretary said, “Ayrshire people are aware of the superb services provided by Ayrshire Cancer Support and when we read in the Standard that their charity shop in Mauchline had been burnt down recently the choir had no hesitation in nominating them to receive part of the proceeds. Woodstock also does a wonderful job within our community by caring for children less fortunate than most and on a limited budget. Our counterparts in Shrewsbury are delighted with our choice of charities and we would ask Ayrshire people to come along and enjoy a musical evening and support those two good causes” The event takes place on Saturday 10th May in the Henderson Church, Kilmarnock at 7.30pm. Tickets priced at £5.00 are available from Ayrshire Cancer Support on 01563 538008 or Alasdair Smith on 01563 542861 or any member of the choir. |

| WE ARE BRANCHING OUT |
| Ayrshire Cancer Support is embarking on an ambitious project to help create a natural Scottish woodland in Ayrshire, returning the land to way it was many years ago, and we are giving everyone the chance to be part of the project by purchasing their own tree. Revenue raised from this project by us will be used for the benefit of cancer patients and their families. We are offering individuals, schools and companies the opportunity to plant a tree to celebrate any event or occasion, it could be a birth, wedding anniversary, a project to help our environment or as a unique and personal gift to a loved one, the list is endless. Beside each dedicated tree there will be a plaque with the purchaser’s personal message engraved on it, they will also receive a certificate showing the message and a map showing the location of the tree. The site of the woodland has been created at Craig’s Farm Estate near New Cumnock. The Afton Water flows through this secluded valley which lies on the Burns trail only about a mile from the beautiful Burns Cairn established by New Cumnock Burns Club. There is a beautiful picnic area situated near the Cairn beside the Afton Water, where you can take a break and experience the tranquillity of the area. Overlooking the planting area is the rocky outcrop called ‘Castle William’ where it is reputed that William Wallace had a residence. Only tree species which have historically been on the land will be planted and will include Scots Pine, Silver Birch, Willow and Rowan. John Beck said ‘ Following on from the success of collecting mobile telephones for re-cycling we are pleased once again to involved in a project which will help our precious Ayrshire environment and at the same raise funds for our invaluable work. Trees are a vital element in the fight against global warming and this type of natural Scottish woodland will encourage a great variety of wildlife to the area. Trees are a lasting legacy that will live on for future generations and every tree planted will be a personal contribution to a better tomorrow. Purchasing a tree to mark a family event or occasion will be a truly unique gift, it is also an ideal opportunity for groups of friends, work colleagues, schoolchildren and students to club together to support our work.
