🏉 Strathie Pups – Why not give it a go this Sunday?

Looking for a fun, active and welcoming activity for your little one this weekend? Why not give Strathie Pups a go? Our next block starts this Sunday! 🎉

🏉 What is Strathie Pups?

Strathie Pups is a fun introduction to rugby for little ones aged 2–5. Our sessions are non-contact, delivered by qualified coaches and designed to be safe, structured and, most importantly, lots of fun!

Through games, activities and age-appropriate rugby skills, children can develop:

⭐ Confidence
⭐ Listening and following instructions
⭐ Turn-taking and patience
⭐ Fine and gross motor skills
⭐ Teamwork and communication

And you don’t need to be a rugby family to join us! Parents and carers are encouraged to get involved too, making it a great way to be active and have fun together. ❤️

📅 Sunday mornings – Forfar

🕤 9.45am–10.15am – Ages 2–3.5
🕥 10.30am–11.15am – Ages 3.5–5

📍 Sessions are held outdoors at Strathmore Rugby Club during the summer and indoors at Forfar Community Campus during the winter.

⭐ Try a single session or book the full 6-week block!

We know committing to a full block isn't always easy, especially when you're not sure if your little one will enjoy it. That's why we offer pay-as-you-go sessions, so you can come along, give it a try and see how your little Pup gets on before booking a full block.

Whether you're looking for a new activity, a chance to build confidence, or simply some fun family time, we'd love to welcome you along! 🏉

Come and join our Strathie Pups this Sunday! 💙

The Lord Lieutenant was delighted to be asked along by local artists, David Turner, David E. Johnston , Susie Smith, Morag Smith, Ann Morphy, Joan Wightman, and Susan Gibson. Don't miss it!

The Lord-Lieutenant was delighted to join ProMo Montrose at the first SconeFest and enjoy a wonderful community event celebrating the town and all it has to offer.
It was also a great opportunity to hear more about the work being undertaken by ProMo and the enthusiasm and commitment they are bringing to promoting and supporting Montrose.
Events like SconeFest bring people together, create a real sense of community and help showcase the very best of our local towns.
Thank you to everyone at ProMo for the warm welcome and for all they are doing for Montrose. 👏

Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre – New Displays & Fly-In Weekend
✈️ Celebrating Montrose’s Aviation Heritage ✈️
The Lord-Lieutenant was honoured to officially open the new Medal Room and refurbished Diorama Room at Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre.
The Medal Room is a superb display, featuring medals from the First World War, Second World War and other conflicts. Behind many of the medals is the story of an individual and their service – stories which deserve to be remembered and shared.
The new Diorama Room brings the remarkable history of Montrose Airfield to life, from the arrival of No. 2 Squadron in 1913 through two World Wars and right up to the airfield’s closure in 1952.
The opening formed part of a hugely successful Fly-In Weekend, which brought visitors together to enjoy the aircraft and discover more about Montrose’s proud aviation heritage.
Special congratulations must go to all the volunteers whose tremendous hard work has made these new displays possible.
Montrose has an extraordinary aviation story, and the museum continues to do an outstanding job of ensuring that history is preserved for future generations. ✈️👏
