Following on from a number of threads on the forum over the last couple of years we would like to highlight the issue we have in Campbeltown once again and ask for as much as support as possible on this issue. Your comments on this matter are most welcome and will offer support to the case.

The simple truth of the matter is that Campbeltown has no All Weather Facilities and the likelihood is this will not improve in the next 5-6 years as the matter has now been swept under the carpet of the School Estate.
Following the Sports Council meeting in January a meeting has been arranged to discuss this issue with our local representatives next Wednesday 11th March at 7pm in the Burnett Building, Campbeltown. Can you please offer your support and attend this meeting.
We would also support Campbeltown Pupils call for an All Weather Pitch was highlighed in last week's Campbeltown Courier - see http://www.campbeltowncourier.co.uk/new ... enock.html for more detail. The Courier will also be highlighting the issue further in the coming weeks.
