Latest tourism meeting
A meeting was held last night to discuss the formation of a 'tourism forum' for Huntly. Attendance was small, 13 people, but represented a cross-section of the business community although lacking any of the larger businesses.
Les Allan from Aberdeenshire Council and Donald Boyd, ATP town coordinator, presented their perspectives on the future for tourism in Huntly. Carolyn Maniukiewicz of Ideas in Partnership gave some useful insights into how the tourism strategy had worked for Turriff.
Members of the audience expressed thier support for the formation of a steering group or committee to over see developments but it was suggested that it should be renamed as an 'Action Group' rather than a forum as action is needed rather than more discussion. Those present were asked to submit some ideas for consideration by the new group and to attend a further meeting together with at least one other person to progress the ideas.
The next meeting was proposed for Monday 11 September 2006 at 7pm. The location provisionally to be the Huntly Learning Centre (to be confirmed).
