CCT organised a Big Band evening in the Couper Institute on Friday 15th February 2008 with guest soloist, Kate Everett.

2005

"Film 'n' Fish Night".  Sunday, 20th November, 2005.    We watched the hard-hitting film “Man Dancin” on the Screen at Stamperland Church.  "Man Dancin" is a gangster film with a difference.  It is an uncompromising tale of hope and redemption.     After the screening we enjoyed fish suppers in the Hall.
