URGENT – ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG NEEDS VOLUNTEERS 15th to 17th MAY

Do you fancy helping in an archaeological dig?  Have you done and this before or just wanted to help the ‘time team’?

Aberdeenshire Council are looking urgently for volunteers to help with a project dig at Haddo Country Park.

Archaeologists are carrying out a buildings survey on the old Haddo ice house next week on the 15th, 16th and 17th of May. There is an opportunity for volunteers to assist the archaeologists, for around 5 volunteers per day to help out and get some experience of this type of work. Hours are 9.00am-4.00pm.

The site is adjacent to the main car park and welfare facilities are relatively close to the site. Volunteers would need to make their own way to Haddo, but reasonable expenses can be paid if evidence of expenditure in relation to the volunteering is kept.

For more information and a chance to learn about our archeological dig.

HADDO – SINGING IS GOOD FOR YOU

It is not too late to join!

Haddo House Choral & Operatic Society rehearsals have begun with new Musical Director Paul Tierney for a concert in October this year.

Rehearsals are at 7.30pm in the Peatyards at Haddo and you would be most welcome. No audition required.

Singing IS good for you. People who sing in choirs have always known this, but now scientific research has caught up with this long-acknowledged wisdom. Singing in a group – like a choir – has not only proven to be to be good for your physical health, but also good for giving you a heightened sense of wellbeing. Add to this the fact that singing in a choir will improve your musical ability and will boost your self-esteem and your confidence.
