Year since devastating floods
A private function is being held in Laxey today (3 Dec) to thank the local community for their support in the aftermath of last year's devastating floods.
Starting at the Ballacregga Cornmill Tea Rooms from 2pm, the gathering's been organised by Stewart Clague to thank all those involved in rebuilding work.
He owns the tea rooms as well as the Salmon Lake Centre, which was severely damaged during the floods.
Mr Clague says with the traumatic experience now behind the village, some 'thank you's' are in order:
Firearms amnesty comes into effect
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
Hark! Claims school didn't allow Christmas carols to be sung "rumour" and "hearsay", says minister
