Fantastic result in Ayr and great bit of PR in the local paper, so keep the good work up and thanks once again for everything, we are incredibly grateful. I just wanted to give you a heads up on a few things for 2012. Firstly the date has been set for the 2012 volunteer Gathering which will be held on May 26th in Stirling. Details will follow but would love to see yourself or someone from the club there if free? Believe it or not we are still getting money in for the 2011 appeal and a public announcement for the Scottish total will be in March at some point. Locally Glasgow is 12% up and the West of Scotland is 9% up on the previous record year and so we are looking for a good result overall. Obviously your result blows all others out the water! Best wishes Robert Extract from e-mail received from the West of Scotland Poppy Appeal organiser:

]]> Comment on Ayrshire Coastal Path work continues by Jimmy Begg http://rotaryclubofayr.org/wp/?p=591#comment-124 Jimmy Begg Thu, 01 Sep 2011 13:55:17 +0000 http://rotaryclubofayr.org/wp/?p=591#comment-124 Hi Charlie, Following reports last summer of arrogant walkers with dogs mouthing off to a farmer about their ‘right to roam’ - fourteen new Information Panels were designed (in conjunction with farmers and access officers), and are being erected in sensitive farming areas along the Coastal Path. We hope that overseas walkers unfamiliar with Scottish farming practices will find these useful. Whether the local idiots will read them is a matter of conjecture, but at least they can no longer claim that they 'didnae ken'! 'With freedom to roam comes the responsibility to respect rural customs and farming practices'. All walkers should read our website advice on Responsible Access before walking the Coastal Path. Tidal Diversion Route: Readers might also want to know that, thanks to the welcome cooperation of FMC Bio-Polymers of Girvan, two new stiles have been built to let walkers cross the Milton Burn south of Turnberry Golf course, via the bridge to the old pump house. Gus, Willie and I went down yesterday and erected the direction signs. This removes an inconvenient tidal obstruction caused by high tides or the burn in spate. N.B. This area is a Site of Specialised Scientific Interest (SSSI) for rare insects, and walkers should keep to the footpath.

Enjoy your Burns Night. You will love the haggis - remember to have some whisky with it. There is an excellent new visitor centre opened January 2011 to celebrate the life and works of Burns. If you or any of your members visit this area, this is a must-visit attraction.
