Tourism meeting

A meeting was held last night at the Gordon Arms to hear Ian Dunlop of VisitScotland talk about tourism opportunities for Huntly.

The meeting was well attended and heard a very interesting and informative presentation which prompted a useful and lively discussion.

I think the main point to come out of the meeting was the necessity to promote Huntly and for all groups to work together with a common aim.

New venue for folk club

On Wednesday night we attended the first meeting of the revived Huntly Folk Club.

The meeting was held at the newly refurbished Rose and Thistle Bistro on Duke Street - a fine place for a quiet drink or meal. They even have a guest ale - Cairngorm Trade Winds at the time of writing! Just the sort of place Huntly needs.

The meeting was very well attended, filling the side bar to bursting. Some excellent performances from well-known local artists, led by Keith Cockburn.

Future folk nights will, hopefully, become a regular occurrence on every third Wednesday of the month.

Website goes live!

The Huntly-online website has now gone live.

A press release has been sent out and I await developments. There should be an item in the 'Huntly Express' this Friday. Thirty letters have gone out and it will be interesting to see how much, if any, interest is generated.

If anyone is interested a copy of the press release can be downloaded here.

Welcome to Huntly-online.

I hope to post comments about events in and around Huntly at regular intervals and invite a response from visitors.
