Tullynessle & Forbes Calendar 2026
Message from Sue Gassaway, Board Member
April 2025
I hope you are all enjoying this year's Tullynessle Hall Calendar but it is time to get started to find new images ready for next year. We like to start choosing which pictures we want by the end of August - ready for printing and then for sale at least by the Producers' Market at the end of October. So please send me pictures at ANY TIME!
Please keep the choice of images to the local area but as wide a choice of subject matter as possible. We want to show off the wonderful place where we live! So please have your camera at the ready for when something attractive catches your eye. Think of people, places, day or night and at any time of year; activities, sports, gardens, local events and places of interest, local wildlife, anything, in fact, that you think people would enjoy to look at for a whole month.
Make sure your photos are high definition so that they are clear when printed in A4 size, some mobile phone images are too pixillated for use and have to be rejected.
Please send in your pictures to Sue Gassaway (syllavethy@gmail.com) at any time for possible selection. If you have any queries you can also call me on 01975 562273
Let’s see if we can outdo ourselves again this year! Very good luck and THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Our recent Climate Action project to help achieve net zero for the Hall is complete. This feat was achieved thanks to funding from the Vattenfall Unlock Our Future Fund, administered by Foundation Scotland,The Macrobert Trust, the Scottish Government's CARES scheme, H.D.H.Wills, the Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation and The Marr Area Partnership. You will see the solar panels as you pass the Hall. What a grand job Ceiba Renewables and the team of electricians did installing the panels and batteries, despite the freezing weather conditions on those days. Ally Crawford Electricals installed our LED lights back in May, which has made a huge difference to our lighting. The last job on the list was to top up the loft insulation and this was expertly done by Kyle Sutherland Joinery. THANK YOU TO ALL OUR FUNDERS. And a huge thank you to our fundraiser Catriona Skene at Greenmore Consultancy who worked so hard on our behalf.
The generator is now in situ and resilience planning will continue after the Christmas break.
Everyone at Tullynessle and Forbes Community and Hall Association wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2025.
