Do cultural events cover sporting events too? Just so we can perhaps promote any large sports event that are occurring in Kintyre?

Excellent work and well done to all involved.

Hi Sport

Although the Newsletter is mainly for dances, exhibitions, concerts etc if there is room we will include a sporting event if it will help bring people into the area. When the original steering group formed the Kintyre Cultural Forum, the decision was made that there was so much arts and entertainment activity going on that it would be hard enough to gather the views, activities and contact details of these groups and individuals alone.

It was also pointed out that there was already a body in place to oversee/assist the sports activities in the area (The Sports Council) and the best thing to do would be for the KCF to concentrate on the arts and entertainment, as at that time it was still very uncoordinated.

Hope this helps.

Iain
