15 September 2008
The 100th birthday of keen East Church Support, Mrs Newell, has been making local and national news headlines - attention which seems entirely appropriate for such an exceptional lady.
Community and Education Officer, and local Highland Councillor, David Alston, who played Master of Ceremonies for the afternoon, commented:
"It was a privilege to be able to help out at her celebrations and community tribute this week, during which Mrs Newell also opened the new play equipment for the older citizens of Cromarty."The party featured on the front page of the Press and Journal, the Scottish News and even on BBC Newsround - which caused some excited surprise amongst the local children.
