Catrine Festival.  Saturday 6th June 2009

Catrine Community Trust are holding a festival in the village on the 6th June . Ayrshire Rivers Trust will have a stand where we will display some of the work that we do. We will be collecting and identifying invertebrates from the river which is sure to be popular with children and anglers alike.

In conjunction with the Community Trust, we will hold a duck race with the winner receiving £100. Ducks will be on sale at £1 each.

Other attractions on the day will include:

Craft stalls selling jewellery, art, woodturning, baking, sweets etc. and plenty of other things to do and see including facepainting, pony rides, mini animal zoo, bouncy castle, hot food, bar, music etc etc etc.

This promises to be a fun day out for all the family with lots to do and see and we hope you will come along and support the Trust and the community.

Celebrate Ayrshire, Culzean Castle and Country Park. Sunday 14th June 2009

Celebrate Ayrshire is the theme of this event and ART are pleased to be taking part.  Ayrshire's 'Homecoming Year' is all about celebrating our heritage and links with Robert Burns. Artists, poets, musicians and the Maybole Pipe Band will feature during the day and there will of course be the opportunity to buy crafts and local produce.

On show will be a milking demonstration, an open top bus, vintage military vehicles, a Clydesdale Horse and many other attractions from our past and present. ART will have a display featuring our work and current projects.

Culzean Castle and Country Park are spectacular and will no doubt benefit from the added attraction of Ayrshire Rivers Trust to pull in the crowds!

Come along and bring the family. It should be another very good day out. Full details of the event are available from the National Trust for Scotland's web page http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/97/News/530/
