The Battle of Methven re-enactment day went very well in beautiful weather. It could have been better supported but great thanks must be given to all the villagers who did turn out for the day, and to all the visitors from out with Methven who made this a most memorable occasion. We are in the process of putting together some photos pages and information for anyone interested in the day.

The bar was well stocked and very well looked after by the owners of The Bell Tree pub in Methven. Soft drinks, teas and coffees together with a nice selection of cakes was provided by The Pantry in Methven. For those interested in food, one could not ask for a better example of cooking on a medieval spit roast by the owners of Hamishes Restaurant who started the cooking at 01:00 on the Saturday morning. Great work by all these suppliers and very well received.

We still have a number of T-shirts and key fobs available for sale at £8.00 and £4.00 respectively. Please contact Alan Lewis on: telephone 01738 840737 or email Alan Lewis. All proceeds will go directly toward upkeep of the village parks. Please support us.
