We will be celebrating at 4pm -earlier because it gets cold, with warming traditional food, letters of acknowledgement, poem, piping, the story if Tynwald Day and we will finish at 5pm with the flag lowering. We hope to see you there.
18.01.2022 Hey guys, anyone who was at the St Andrew's Day dinner by chance see a silver tray used for the haggis address? It was a small one that George carried the whiskey on. It has a huge sentimental value to its owner. Please contact myself or Judi Toms if you may have accidently picked it up or had noticed it anywhere. Thanks

10.01.2022 We will be going ahead with a dampish flag lowering at 4
09.01.2022 Well it was damp. Five brave souls there were. We couldn't entice visitors to join in
09.01.2022 such a shame it was overcast last night, we couldn't see the Christmas Star or meteor shower but there was a sunset!
08.01.2022 Time to get the protractor out, and watch your latitude! The spring equinox is a day when sun angle is quite revealing, because on this day, the noon shadow is... directly related to the latitude where you are. By measuring the solar noon angle, your latitude is: the angle less 90. On the equinox at the equator, 0 degrees latitude, the sun is directly overhead, so the angle at noon is 90 degrees: 90 degrees less 90 = 0 (the equator). What is the latitude of Glen Innes? The solar noon angle will be just over 60 degrees - on Tuesday you could measure it! So, 60.25 minus 90 = -29.75 - our latitude! #australianstandingstones #SpringInGlen at The Australian Standing Stones National Celtic Monument #GlenInnesHighlands See more
