Fantastic write up Ags .....well done to you and the organisers behind this fun fundraising event . Look forward to seeing them at the MOK next week.

Their first official engagement Pans Lass ! 10 new birds are winging their way to us courtesy of Gardens2you so that they can be evenly spread over the 10k and half routes!!

Spotted at McKerrals yard this morning.

Crowth it was worth the nettle stings and the difficult stony ground to receive a very generous cheque from the McKerral's this morning! The donations received so far have been amazing

The CGS flamingos aren't flocking this week as a mark of respect after the tragic news from Saturday night. Our thoughts are with Scott's family and close friends.
Look out for them again, with some additions to the flock, at the MOK Run.

They are in flight again,just landed in Carradale early this morning.Mr&Mrs Gee will get a pleasant suprise.

Thank you jdcarra, I knew we could count on you to spot the flamingos if they landed in the East! What a beautiful garden, they are certainly birds of great taste!! They will be heading your direction again later in the summer so keep your eyes peeled.
I will speak nice to Pete Reek to get some more photos added but you can also keep up with the whereabouts of the flamingos on the facebook page CGS4Gambia.

Can we, the CGS4Gambia fundraising group, just say a huge thank you for all the support so far!
Somebody said to me today that they really wanted to flock a friend and were so disappointed to hear we had stopped flocking because we were fully booked. We are keen to raise as much money to aid our work in the primary school in Kalagi as possible and though we may be saying we are fully booked for 10 days or 2 weeks, there is no limit on this fundraiser. If the flamingos are in demand, they will be available. Please PM me here or phone the school if you are interested.
There are a few bookings in place for July for parties so please also keep that in mind. Family bbq? Kids party? Our birdies are very well behaved and will arrive quietly in the early hours of your special day!

Flocked! This morning. Thanks to someone miles away! Lovely gesture!

[Govangirl]

What a nice surprise - and that view must be one of the most fabulous ones from a garden in the whole of the UK!!!

[Ags]

Now GG surely you know that our flamingos are very choosy and only land in the nicest of gardens!!
I had a telephone conversation with a lady yesterday who was looking to book a flock but was very concerned that she had heard it was "hundreds of pounds" Can I just put paid to that good old Campbeltown rumour? A flock of flamingos is £20 and worth every penny

[jdcarra]

Four more flockings in the wee village Ags and one delighted wee chap who loves the birds .

Thanks JD!! I actually logged on specifically to send you a wee PM but we can just make it a public message!! Keep that camera at the ready as due to popular demand, the birds have headed East again for another few days! Keep your eyes peeled in Carradale folks! Little Alfie obviously loved his pink visitors, what a wee cutie.

I hope these pink birds are behaving in Carradale this week? Have they been spotted?

As part of our fundraising, 12 Campbeltown Grammar School staff are leaving Campbeltown on Friday morning to complete the very physically demanding Three Peaks Challenge. This challenge entails climbing the highest hills in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scalfell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) in as close to 24 hours as we possibly can. If you see any of us around, please sponsor us or you can finally make a donation online via paypal. To donate online log into www.paypal.co.uk and the email address to add is CGS4Gambia@yahoo.co.uk
We will begin Ben Nevis probably around 5pm on Friday afternoon, it won't be easy so please dig deep!

So far, the bank balance for CGS4Gambia is almost £6000 which is quite amazing in just a few months! Thank you to everybody who has supported us so far
