The Kintyre Forum

As there appears to be a number of new ventures and events in Kintyre this year I thought I would like to ask what you would like to see open or happening here?

We have the new walk opening, bije tracks, fast boat crossings to ayrshire, air shows, the swimming pool etc all on/opening but what else would you like to see happening?

I'd like to see people actually making something, for a change, akin to thw ship-building thread that was going in the local history section for a while. Unfortunately the UK doesn't actually seem to make *anything* any more, anywhere, which is rather a shame.

I'm not knocking Contact 4 who should be applauded for having brought much-needed jobs to the area but as a nation we just don't seem to make anything anymore.

Incidentally, Contact 4 donated the top prize at the recent Race Night at the Glen Bar in Carradale, to raise money towards Mairi Paterson's MS treatment.

Cheers

Don't really see the point about your reference above but do agree with your initial point. Now Carradale Ale has a nice sound to it!

Maybe I mis-interpreted your original message. What I'm saying that I'd like to see more jobs coming to the area.

I think a hotel large enough to large parties of visitors is needed. One with all the facilities - similar to the one at Inveraray - Loch Fyne is it?

We don't have a hotel who can cope with large numbers plus a decent function suite wouldn't go a miss. They would make a packet with all the parties and weddings etc they would get.

Now, I wonder how much the Keil is going for!
