Edinkillie Hall 50/50 Club  



In an effort to have regular funds to help with the upkeep of the Hall, we are running a 50/50 Club.   For as little as £2 per month you can support your local Hall and be in with a chance of winning a cash prize EVERY MONTH!!
How does it work?   Members of the club make a monthly payment. 50% of the money collected goes to help with the Hall upkeep and 50% is paid out in prize money through a monthly draw for the members of the club.
How much does it cost?   The minimum payment is £2 per month which gives you one entry into the monthly draw but you can pay for as many entries each month as you like.
How is the money collected?   Payments are made by Standing Order to the Edinkillie Hall 50/50 Club, on the 1st or 15th of the month which you can cancel at any time, or if you prefer a single payment can be made annually.
How much can I win?   There will initially be 1 prize with the winnings dependent on the number of entries. As the club grows, so will the value and number of prizes.
Interested?   Do you want more information or wish to join the Edinkillie Hall 50/50 Club please contact thehall@braemoray.com.

Update

The 1st draw took place on 21st February 2012 at the Bowling Club Practice night. Mary Pratt made the draw and the winner was Mr. Jim Symon

Edinkillie Names and meanings

An occasional feature explaining the origins of our local placenames.



Lochnuan, from the Gaelic Loch, a lake, and the Gaelic Uan, a lamb, cognate with the Latin Agnus, Welsh Oen. As is usually the case, it occurs here in the genitive plural with the preposition of prefixed, forming the word Nanuan, of the lambs. Uanan is the diminutive form. The loch of the lambs.



Belvlair, from the Gaelic Baile, a residence, and Blair, Blar, a plan or field, and by extension a field of battle. The residence on plain.



Edenkillie. — The first part of this word is from the Gaelic^ Eudan, the face, literally a brow ; hence by extension it is applied to the face of a hill. It is also found as Aodann, and contracted to Ediji, Eden, Edan, and Edn. The latter part is from the Gaelic Coille, a wood, and in topography takes the forms of Kel, Kil^ Kelly, Killy, and Kyle, the wood. Signifies the woody hillside or braeface.



Tillyglens. — The prefix here is from the Gaelic Tilach, a little hill or mound, and variously found as Tilla, Tillow, Tilly, and Tilli. In an Irish glossary it is given as the equivalent of Briy which is another word for a little hill, and cognate with which is the English Brae. The latter part is from the English Glen, and has the same signification as the Gaelic Gleann, and though nearly identical in form, the one has not been derived from the other, the one being Anglo-Saxon, and of much later date than the Gaelic Gleann, Welsh Glyn, The hill glen.
