Ayr Rotary have just donated £250 to help with Path development, specifically to buy two metal gates for a recent project at Drumshang.
Along with two donations from local rambler groups, this extra money has allowed The Ayrshire Coastal Path to complete the important job of bridge replacement. The new bridge can now carry the quad bike and flail mower which local farmer Angus Craig kindly uses to keep the grass on the path well mown, saving the Pathminders many hours hard work with hand equipment.
The ACP was originally an Ayr Rotary project, but was so successful it had to be hived off and is now a stand alone Community Group, run by a board of management. Many Rotarians are still involved, but the ACP require to find their own funding. Donations like this make a real difference to what the ACP can achieve in terms of Path development.
