The Kintyre Forum

I heard a wee story the other day that Machrihanish is about to put on the market by the MOD.

Allegedly the interested parties are Vestas, Blacker, the developer at the drome houses and the owner of the Royal Hotel with other backers who would not necessarly have the towns interests at heart..

Should the town not be interested in a community buy out to protect the local interest from these developers.

How about the Community Council finding out from our local councillors if this is true?

Sorry there too busy dealing way more trivial matters, this is far too big for the community council to be worrying about.

Maybe i'll buy it to make another factory out of it.

Ah coud'na naw cum back oan this wan, as i hiv a wee bit info on this subject.
Ah wuz at the recent meetin with the Campbeltown Runway & Airport Projects, and the spokes wumin told awe the share hulders, that thur wud be drastic changes tae the infrostructure oh the base soon, an enywan with 1000 shares or mer, shuid sell thim right noo.
Miss Laura Keech, chair an spokes person fur the C.R.A.P also telt us thit within 3 months aw the beeldins wid beused fur storin a new form oh high grade manure, usually only foond on the carradil site, but noo infarttratin the toons folk tae sash an extent, that concerns fur oor nostrils an grannies washin, meens drustic meesures had tae be taken to rectifi an clean up this stench,
Course the CCC denied this sayin ,naw naw naw, the smell is oor ain keech oot oor ain drains, when we failed tae sort oor over flooin burns.
Or sumthin lake that onyway. Or wuz a dreemin ??? jeengs ah shoona be oot, am naw right yut.

Oh well don't say you didn't know anything about it when a horde of incomers own it an we in the town have let the opportunity pass us by. It may be a rumour or it could be true.

General Jack O'Niell - Do you ever have anything sensible to say? Dunno who you are but reading back on your posts you are always moaning about something. God help your wife (or husband - as you could be a woman!) - she must be gie depressed listening to you a' day!

Anyway, back to the subject - was there not a posting about this ages ago - one from LO which had lots of good points etc? LO???
