The Joint AGMs 2011

Held this year in the village Hall, Stuartfield,on the 24th June it once again proved to be an interesting event, held this year on the Friday evening instead of the usual Saturday afternoon. There are several changes to the Committees and the new compositions are shown below.

Before launching into what proved to be a most interesting talk, Mr. Gordon Hay pointed out that his translation of the New Testament into the vernacular Doric, was derived from quite a number of previous versions-Greek, Latin and a number of those in English, and not exclusively of the Authorised Version. He also made the point that as it was the vernacular Doric of the Turriff area, there was a chance that other readers of the Doric may be unfamiliar with the terms he has used; and it could also be unfamiliar to future generations as the vernacular is a living language and forever changing.
