Here are just a few of the fantastic photographs taken by James during his recent visit as part of his photography qualification. We think he captured the fun, friendship and community spirit of our pétanque sessions brilliantly!

If you've ever fancied giving pétanque a try, why not come along? New players are always welcome.

📅 Saturdays: 10:00am
📅 Thursdays: 10am As part of the Midlothian Bee Active – Ageing Well programme.

After our Thursday game, everyone heads into the Community Hall to enjoy a relaxed coffee and cake (or biscuits!) and a friendly chat. It's a great way to keep active, meet new people and have some fun.

We'd love to see you there!

Fantastic to see this morning the Charity GroceryAid starting from Roslin on their tour of Midlothian and the Borders. Making good use of the Community Picnic Table and enjoying the sunshine.

This morning the Rhinos visited our neighbours Penicuik Petanque Club for our match in the Lothian & Borders Inter Club League. Rosslyn Rhinos started well with 2 Doubles wins in the first session and then the 2nd session of doubles were drawn.

Going into the last round of Singles & Triples therefore the visitors led 3-1.

Congratulations to Penicuik who came back strongly to win both final matches by a shot going down to the last boule in each match resulting in a drawn match 3-3.

Thanks to Penicuik for your hospitality and warm welcome - wishing you well for the remainder of the Season.
