Hi,

The aim in the constitution is "To encourage and support the development of cultural activities throughout Kintyre".

Essentially it is about two years old in its current form and was set up to develop cultural activities through things like a 'What's On' type newsletter that was printed on hard copy and put on websites. There were also hopes that there might be seminars and workshops to help people in the cultural sector (many of whom work alone) to improve their knowledge and get people working together. It could also be a useful tool for lobbying as the Council does not seem to value the work of the cultural sector at present.

Really how it develops will depend on those involved in the committee. So if you fancy it come along.....

Cheers

Deirdre

How long is a piece of string???? There is a massive description of culture by the Scottish Executive but really it is whatever it means to you.

Depends on who is involved with the Kintyre Cultural Forum as to how it develops.
