Strathmore
& the Glens Rural Partnership
Annual
General Meeting
Strathmore
& the Glens held their Annual General Meeting on Thursday in the first class
conference facilities of the Redhouse Hotel, Coupar Angus.
Executive
Director, Sue Cole gave a presentation on what had been achieved during the past
12 months and reported that the Partnership continues to go from strength to
strength.
Sue reported
that the first Community Market of the season was held on 24th April
and future markets are planned for the 4th Saturday of each
month in the Wellmeadow. Whilst the
May market sees the return of some old faces, Friends of Blairgowrie High
School, Blairgowrie in Bloom and Wisecraft will also be attending the market.
Hits on the
website www.strathmoreglens.org continue to rise and
the Voluntary and Business Directories which are hosted on the site are
reported to be a valuable tool for the local community.
Strathmore
& the Glens continues to work closely with many community groups across the
area and are presently assisting the Local Area Tourist Board, Countryside Trust
and other community groups in
the organisation of the East Perthshire Walking Festival. Strathmore & the Glens are also represented on the
Management Committee of the Strathmore Centre for Youth Development.
Sue finished
her report by advising the audience that during the last 12 months Strathmore
& the Glens had helped local groups attract in excess of £67,000 for
projects and stressed the importance of local groups working together in a
partnership of mutual trust and understanding.
Plans are in
hand for the 2004 Blairgowrie Better Place to Live Fair, which is being held on
Saturday, 5th June in Blairgowrie Town Hall.
Sue asks that any community groups interested in taking part to contact
her on 01828 640763. Further
details will shortly appear on the Partnership website.
Details of the work of the partnership can be found at www.strathmoreglens.org.
