[Kintyre Forum News]

As most of you will already know, Campbeltown has been chosen as a venue for next year’s Round Britain Race (www.rb12.com).

This is the largest multi-faceted event to have ever been staged in Britain and will involve 50 powerboats, 75 cars and 50 aircraft visiting 10 venues around Britain from 21st to 30th June 2012. Not only will this race provide a thrilling spectacle for the public it will also be an exciting challenge for participants, being described as "the toughest powerboat race in the world".

The date for the Campbeltown visit is Sunday 24th June 2012, departing on Monday 25th June 2012.

The organisers have contacted Town Centre Manager Aileen MacLennan regarding accommodation as they are looking to book around 300 rooms in South Kintyre for the event crew and staff alone.

Aileen has made up a speadsheet of hotel, bed and breakfast and self catering accommodation in the area to send to the organisers but she is keen not to miss anyone out.
