hello there campbeltown and kintyre, i like your site very much and look forward to chatting to other members alomg the way :) ......

i'm also pleased to see that the switch on of the christmas lights in campbeltown is on this year , as sadly the wonders of argyll and bute council have decided that there will be no christmas lighting in my home town of oban or fireworks display this year either :cry: very poor show .....

Hi there Bayview.

Why are there no Christmas Lights or Fireworks in Oban this year?

hiya hoots :) the reason given by argyll and bute is lack of funds to hold the fireworks display and it's costing too much for the maintenance of the christmas lights to have any this year , the good causes fund has allegedly turned them down as well :( . argyll and bute are always at the ready with an excuse :roll:

If I am correct both events in the town are locally funded.

The fireworks display is something to do with Children - Children First or something and is for charity and I believe the Christmas Lights are all funded by our local traders association.

Surely the Oban Traders Association can do likewise? Should be able to - they seem to take a fortune in on revenue on their website! :wink:
