Getting involved

The Glenkens Gazette is published by the Glenkens Community & Arts Trust every two months and is mainly put together with contributions from local community groups (such as the schools, scouts and cubs, police, fire service, and community councils) as well as individuals. Between 1000 and 1500 copies of the Gazette are produced each edition, depending on the time of year (more are produced in the summer to cope with the demand from visitors). The community survey which GCAT carried out in 2004 found that over 86% of respondents read the Gazette, with 62.3% reading every issue. If you would like find out more about the Gazette, please contact the Gazette Co-ordinator, Sarah Ade on 01644 420374.

Gold Award in Green Scheme

The Catstrand has been awarded Gold level (the highest status available) in the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

 

The report noted that:

 

The CatStrand does very well and maintains the prestigious GOLD level of award. The centre is much more than just an Art Venue ‐ It is a community hub, where locals and tourists are brought together. Art is showcased but their is also lots of local crafts, local books and excellent information on the many low carbon activities such as walks and cycle routes in the surrounding area. The venue has been involved in some of the Dark Skies initiatives that have taken place and continues to run the minibus service (with an additional bus). The site is still very green sue the wood chip heating system, high levels of insulation and modern refurbishment. Overall an excellent green venue and an example to others in Scotland.
