The community have continued to turn out in support of coffee mornings this year, with the latest events being no exception.

Various charities and local groups utilise the town's halls throughout the year, providing locals with an opportunity to support a good cause with their cuppa on an almost weekly basis.

Turriff Legion's Women's Section held their annual Christmas Bazaar, with visitors perusing the variety of stalls and getting into the festive spirit with friends and family while enjoying their fly cup.

Turriff Town Pride Group also took to Turriff Legion in their efforts to raise money towards a new water carrying vehicle after their current one, fondly dubbed Geronimo, has shown signs of struggling with the recurring hot weather and increased volume of floral displays around the town.

The event raised over £400.

The group are looking to hold an AGM early next year where they will look at the best way forward in securing either a new or additional vehicle, which is expected to cost a around £4000.

On the same day as Turriff Town Pride Group's event, St Andrew's Church held their annual Christmas coffee morning in the church hall, with an incredible level of support raising £1460 towards the church's funds.
The event continues to be a hit with its offerings of mince pies and milky coffee in addition to the traditional refreshments and biscuits.

All are invited to come along and support the event.
