Christmas is rapidly approaching and probably you still don’t have that special gift for your nearest and dearest. But this year you needn’t worry because life membership of the Barony A Frame Trust could be perfect for someone you know. The membership scheme, which launched last November has been very popular with local people and now has around 70 members thanks to the unceasing work of retired miner and Trust board member, Arthur Burley.
