Gin and tonic for Albania?

Not quite. But there is a connection. On Sunday, October 6th, there will be a G&T event at the Douglas Hotel in Brodick, to raise funds for the Valdete Trust. For anyone who doesn’t know, this was set up by Sue and Julian Davidson of Whiting Bay, who went on a retirement trip to Albania and ended up running a charitable agency that supplies wheel chairs, walking frames and care for disabled people who previously had no help at all. Sue and Julian are still out there, and the centre they have planned and worked for over several years is due to open soon.
