BENARTY Environment Group is organising a special event in the Miners’ Memorial Garden at the Auld Shank, Ballingry, on Sunday August 26 at 2pm.

The Dedication Service will be an opportunity for anybody who had a family member who worked in the mining industry to go along and pay their respects in the beautiful setting of the Memorial Garden to those who worked in coal industry which dominated the villages of Ballingry, Lochore, Crosshill and Glencraig for decades.

After the service there will be refreshments available in St Serf’s Church, Ballingry and all are welcome.
