Our first talk of 2014 is tonight (7 January) in Ayrshire College, Kilmarnock Campus at 7.30pm
Tonight's speaker is Allan Richardson from Beith.  He is speaking to us about Beith Furniture and he is well qualified to do so, since he started as a cabinet maker in Balfour's factory many more years ago than he cares to remember.  It should be a most interesting talk.
