The Kintyre Forum

There are a small number of tickets available for the dance this Saturday in the Victoria Hall.

The dance follows a weekend where the local Tartan Army host clubs from throughout Scotland playing in the Sevens on the Meadows.

Playing are Kintyre Schools Pipe Band, Twised Melons and Violent Echo and of course lots of TA/Scotland tunes!

Licenced to 2am - strictly no under 18s. Doors Close 10pm. Tickets £10.00

If anything like the one in 2004 it promises to be another great evening

IF interested PM or e-mail cta@campbeltown.info

Looking forward to it. Should be a great atmosphere but it is the nearest the Tartan Army will get to the Austria and Switzeland this year

I have two spare tickets if anyone is interested.

The football on Meadows on Saturday afternoon should be good too

Tickets now sold.

I believe there are some still available though through the CTA, contact details as above.

Aye, really looking forward to Saturday night - should be cracking and if anything like the last time (2004) then we are in for a treat!

Few tickets left mind you so act quick - as well as contacts above see Craig in Whisky Macs who has some tickets. Not many though.

Saturday afternoon will be good craic too with the sevens, penalty king competition, bouncy castle, face paints etc from Funky Chicken, hot food and beer tent. Weather to be good and the Meadows is looking cracking.

Last night was superb. Violent Echo got the place going before the Pipe Band came on and had the place jumping followed by one of the best and most amazing sets bet Twisted Melons - absolute quality. Well done one and all.

PS - We (CTA) lost out on penalties in the final (again!!!). Never even conceded a goal and lost!

not long in (recovering !!) from an excellent weekend >7s football at the meadows =great day out /dance in the vic =absolute superb night >all travelling from outside had a brill night /all bands performed to the audience esp twisted melons who were immense /big thanks to all who helped in any way >campbeltown for 2010 !!!!!!!!!!

Totally agree with two previous posts, thought Violent Echo played a crackin tight set and the Melons were absolutely excellent. They would probably prefer to showcase their own material but for the type of night Saturday was the set list was top notch. The boys also put in a hoora shift with barely a pause between songs, kept the Vic bouncing all night.

Well done all the boys who put in the work to arrange the weekend, especially Davie P, Willie Renton and Steven Dott, it's easy for us to turn up and enjoy these events but without the guys putting in the effort they just wouldn't happen.

Cheers

As one of the visiting Tartan Armies, I'd like to thank everyone at the Campbeltown Tartan Army for a cracking weekend, especially CTA.
Thanks go to the people of the Wee Toon as well for making everyone feel so welcome. All the way from the Bar staff to the boy racers, with special mention to The White Hart (Neil you're a legend), Commercial and Whisky Macs.
The do was fantastic, all the bands were cracking, and was absolutely delighted to see that since the last time we were here in 2006, you now have a chippy van .

We never did make it to the golf on the Saturday (too much bevy in the conrdened off petting zoo at the football), however, that gives us the perfect excuse to come back middle weekend in July next year for a dedicated golf (and bevy) weekend as we like totally challenge the Campbeltown TA to a Ryder cup style golf tournament.
The gauntlet is well a truly thrown down there for the 18th July 2009

CTA, you dont need to put on a Tartan Army Dance next year if you dont want to, however we will be gutted and take it as a personal insult if you dont!

Thanks again Wee Tooners, and see you soon.

Tartan Army thanks the Wee Toon.

The Association of Tartan Army Clubs today formally expressed their thanks the people of Campbeltown for their hospitality.
Spokesman Tam Ferry said; "The 2008 ATAC 7-a-sides tournament held on the 14th June was once again a roaring success.
From the minute the first of the Tartan Army started to arrive on the Friday, we were made to feel like members of the family not visitors. There was great warmth and hospitality in all the pubs, restuarants and hotels, which was very much appreciated.

The football ran like clockwork, the wee tooners chipped in with spare players and teams as needed, and it was all played in great spirit. The hosts, the Campbeltown Tartan Army were unlucky to lose out in the Final on Penalties (again).
The Dance was nothing short of fantastic and many thanks go to the organisers, the bands and staff for making it a superb night.

We never did get to play the golf but thats the perfect excuse to come back next year for a Ryder Cup style challenge against the Campbeltown Tartan Army in July 2009.

On the Sunday we left to go home with a heavy heart (and a sore head), with great memories of old pals and our new friends, a big smile on our faces and pretty much all the beer from Vicki wines."

Thanks to the Wee toon, We'll see you soon.
