I wonder if all the stops will be pulled out like when Nicola Sturgeon visited Campbeltown. Should - this is arguably the second busiest weekend of the year in Campbeltown!

Not to forget the Springbank Open day today!

And there's the Heroes Challenge UK - mentioned elsewhere on the Forum:

On Saturday they start rowing - either from Campbeltown or Southend - to Ballycastle. Their Facebook page is being updated regularly http://www.facebook.com/HeroesChallenge - it's a good way to get the latest on their progress.


And Skerryvore are playing Putechan. http://skerryvore.com/gigs/ Sold-out too it seems. Not surprising

That is shocking!

Was at the Aqualibrium earlier and looked over the green, surely the Council are going to cut the grass? This is one huge event for the town so we need the town looking at its best!

And the PGA golf as well (for Camelton and Kintyre golfers to watch).

Pavement not finished, but if I find out that the area beside the changing rooms was finished to allow a teacups attraction to go there this weekend, and they have not given priority to a charity that operates all year round- they will find out what my avatar means!!
