"Nairn 101 is a community enhancement initiative,
with a view to “Gathering together
curious people of Nairn and local area, to think, be and do something more -
exploring what is possible, exchanging stimulating ideas, challenging
pre-conceptions, creating new awareness.
How much fun can we have being ourselves and changing the world? Let’s see!”
Nairn101 launched on 18 September with an event
at The Little Theatre in Fishertown, where we enjoyed some amazing speakers,
and also heard from other fabulous speakers from TED talks (online) - inspiring
ideas, experiences, thoughts, insights.
One of the ideas hatched was to
hold a Big Lunch in the community, to get people together round a table to talk
and know each other more and thereby
contribute to a happy, healthy, connected community.
At our in-between get-together on Friday 13
November, ideas gelled for a Big Christmas Lunch, for anyone who wanted to come
- for whatever reason. We had heard
that the United Reformed Church was already hosting coffees, lunches and
community activities, including a Christmas Lunch, so it seemed perfect in that
there is already a precedent, plus the space is fabulous - light, bright and open. We are delighted that it fits for everyone!
So we are excited about offering a lunch open to
all - free, sit down and tasty - donated by our generous community - for anyone
who would enjoy a ‘true spirit of
Christmas’, being present
together - whether people are alone, wondering about cost of feeding themselves
or their family, or simply wanting to do a different or ‘something more’ Christmas! All welcome, and anything is possible!
Including take-away for neighbors, family members or anyone who would enjoy or
be grateful for nourishment on Christmas Day.
If you’d like to bring
contribution to the meal, please do! And
who knows what is possible?"
