The Dalbutha Artists present a wine and cheese evening on Saturday 14th May 6-9pm at 108 High Street, Dalbeattie (formally the Carbon Action Centre)
This is an opportunity to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer, in memory of the late Jean Barrowman, local teacher and artist. Jean's paintings have been kindly donated by her family and will be sold to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer.
Entrance will be £2 and there will be an opportunity to buy Jean's paintings and enter a raffle to win one of her paintings. We hope you will be able to support this worthy cause.

That was Gaelic, I presumed it was fluent Cumbrian.
