WHERE WILL THE ARCHES BE
2010? |
|
Each year
we try to build a map where
everyone can find their way
around the town to viewing
the wonderful arches and
house frontages. This is
where we need you help to
locate where these will be.
We have added a list where
hopefully the pupils,
family, friends and everyone
around Bo'ness will look to
see if a character is
missing from our map and add
it.

SHOPPING ONLINE HELPS FAIR

Shopping online is easy and
you can help our Fair
Festival as those who shop
via the website
www.easyfundraising.org.uk
will not just save money
themselves but will help the
Fair Funds as each purchase
a percentage of the sales
goes towards Bo'ness
Childrens Fair This
is what you type in when
asked, so
when purchasing remember to
