The Hair Studio On Friday 24th of September The Hair Studio closed its doors for the last time. After 37 Years service Anne is laying down her scissors for a very well earned retirement. Unfortunately due to ill health at the moment, Anne did not work with us for these last few weeks. Mixed emotions all round, sad to be closing, happy for Anne to be getting to put her feet up and devastated that she won’t be able to work with us as everything comes to a close. 37 years service for Anne, 16 years for Pauline and 10 years for Iona! We would all like to thank you for your loyalty, support and friendship over the years. The many, many ladies who came in to the salon week on week for the last 37 years for Anne to keep them looking smart. Each and every one of you whether you were in the salon every week, reluctantly twice a year or everything in between, it has been an absolute pleasure. Although Anne is hanging up her hairdryer, Pauline and Iona can continue to look after your hair should you wish them to. A daunting prospect for many of you to have to trust a new hairdresser after all this time but we have had the best role model in Anne. We will all miss The Hair Studio and remember our time there fondly. Thank you all - Anne, Pauline & Iona.
Pitlochry And District Choral Society After our enforced break due to Covid restrictions, we are resuming our choir rehearsals again, albeit in a different form. In order to comply with Covid rules the choir is split into two groups: Choir A from September 15th and Choir B from September 22nd. The rehearsals for each choir are on alternate Wednesdays in The Tryst at 7.45 and we urgently need more basses! For our Christmas Concert we are hoping to perform Vivaldi's Gloria plus Christmas Carols in Fishers' Hotel under the direction of our Conductor Colleen Nicoll and our accompanist Andrew Johnstone. Some of us, however, managed to sing in an outdoor session at the Serenity Garden in the summer. Contact for further information - lesleywhitwood@btinternet.com
