Our Grand Canyon Challenge Cancer is one of the biggest causes of death Worldwide. We all know someone who has been diagnosed and has either survived, is fighting it at present, or has sadly lost their fight against it, for us that person was Fiona Archibald, who fought the disease for 3 years In her last months, Fiona went to our local Marie Curie Hospice and they did a miraculous job in lightening her Spirits. Within 3 short weeks, Fiona had transformed from a patient struggling with her illness, to helping other patients, as well as being content in herself. This was all thanks to the care and attention from the staff and nurses at Marie Curie. The hospice at Fairmilehead which cares for many Penicuik cancer sufferers, has inpatient care for just 27 people, although it also runs a day centre. This costs £3.6 million a year. The hospice must raise over £9,000 every day to carry on with their hard work and research. To support the Fairmilehead Hospice, we are trekking the Grand Canyon and set a target of raising £10,000 in order to do so. We would like to thank our family and friends and all the other people that have gave their support during our year of continuous fundraising, In this time we have held 2 successful parties which could not have been possible without the generous raffle prizes which were donated by local businesses. We would like to say a special thank you to Michael at The Studio, Yvonne at Brown's Hairdressing, Favours & Nappy Cakes, Pure Beauty Salon, Kirkhill Cakes, Michael Field Butchers, The Tusitala, The Salisbury Arms as well as Tesco, Ikea, Venture Photography and all other donations we received. We look forward to embracing our Grand Canyon Challenge beginning on October 8th in memory of Fiona Archibald. We know all our funds raised will be greatly appreciated and will continue to support the high quality nursing provided at our local Fairmilehead Hospice. This privately run centre needs your support for your local people. Donations will still be thankfully received until November, visit our JUSTGIVING accounts online: www.justgiving.com/daylearchibald | www.justgiving.com/kirstinawatson www.justgiving.com/sarahalexander Thank you all for your continued support. Dayle, Kirstina & Sarah

CLASSIC CLAPTON An enthusiastic and appreciative audience was treated to a great night of Classic Clapton at Penicuik Town Hall on Sat 1 0th. A very tight four piece filled the room with music they clearly loved playing and were fronted by a musician whose feel and passion for Clapton's music shone through from start to finish. It was Clapton through the ages, and from derek and the dominoes, to the bluesbreakers, the yardbirds, and cream there was something for every Clapton fan. As the songs flowed, the atmosphere built and the crisp keyboard, banging bass and sizzling skins led by some gorgeous guitar playing brought patrons
to their feet and even on to the dance floor. An encore was demanded and delivered and the gig was summed up perfectly by one fan who remarked "just close your eyes and it's Clapton." I did and it was, Classic Clapton! BEESLACK PENICUIK CAMERA CLUB The Winter season commenced on 1 st September with a number of new initiatives to enhance the enjoyment of this hobby.

by
As the darker days draw in closer The Hermit asks what have we achieved so far this year? What do we still wish to do with the few months which are left of 2011? Now is the time for a self review, are we living out our dreams and ambitions or are we just getting by? Write down your dreams and goals and work on them. If you do not realise them, how are you able to make them happen? It is the time for cutting away those things which keep us stuck, whether that be our job, the people we surround ourselves with or the food we eat. We need to be aware of our energies and all those things which drain them. As we turn to the darker months, we have the ability to turn within ourselves to connect with what it is we desire.
