Scotland: National Rural Network
Editor's NoteThis week's newsletter is a bumper packed edition. I'm delighted to announce the launch of our new photo competition - Seasons of Rural Scotland. Also just in are the responses to your questions to our Village Halls panel of experts in our latest Ask an Expert feature. We're asking you to comment on your priorities for rural Scotland. And don't miss out on the chance to attend a major rural event taking place in Edinburgh next month. You'll get more information on all these stories, and more, below!

Thanks to everyone who sent their questions for our Village Halls panel of experts. We had a really good range of questions covering a variety of issues from training for volunteers to funding for renewables. The questions are now with our panel and we should be publishing their responses in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, we've had an interesting question posted in our Put your questions to our Village Halls experts article. We've sent the question to our panel, but please feel free to add your comments too!
Issue 53: 5th August 2010This week saw the launch of the Scottish Government's Speak Up for Rural Scotland consultation. This major rural consultation is the first to feature in our new Consultations section. So, if you've never responded to a Scottish Government consultation before, why not make Speak Up for Rural Scotland your first?
The big news this week is that an EU Rural Cooperation Fair will be taking place in Edinburgh in September. You can get more information on the event, and how you might be able to attend, below.
And if you attended one of the 20 Scottish National Rural Network regional events that took place from November 2009 to May 2010, we'd be grateful if you could take five minutes to complete our online survey. Thanks in advance!
