An Evening with Debbie Leslie
Banchory Heritage
Society members were treated to a wonderful start to the Season by guest
speaker Debbie Leslie, who kept the members amused and entertained with
stories, poems and snippets about her life, family and friends.
A skilled after-dinner
speaker, an author of books in English and the Doric, Debbie is also the
Reader in Residence for Aberdeenshire and explained her remit, to promote
reading to all ages and abilities, to the audience. When the evening
finally broke up for refreshments, there was still a buzz going round and a lot
of questions for Debbie to answer.
Many of the Society
members are fluent in the Doric themselves and left the meeting assured
that it has a great champion in Debbie Leslie.
