News on Creative Scotland Bill
The Creative Scotland Bill has been thrown out by the Scottish parliament. See BBC website for details of the full story.
We were interviewed by the BBC for a short piece which was broadcast on BBC2 in June, as part of the Holyrood Live programme. Alastair Cameron, our chairperson, was interviewed, along with Caroline Scott from the TMSA. The piece was broadcast as an introduction to a parliamentary debate about Creative Scotland, on the day the bill was thrown out.

Looking for someone special!
We’re looking for someone who would be interested in helping out regularly at our ceilidhs from Ocotber.
Arthur Robertson has done a tremendous job over the last three years, supporting the volunteer team at ceilidhs, and keeping all the ceilidhs running smoothly on the night. He’s now decided to step down from his role to enjoy a bit more dancing! Many thanks, Arthur for all your help!
Would you be interested in helping out? We are looking for someone who could commit to being at the ceilidh for the evening, and support our regular team of volunteers. If you’d like to find out more, please email Ros
