Scotland: National Rural Network
Connecting Rural Scotland - Promoting Rural Growth

Airlie Hall Silver Surfers are still looking for at least one partner to join them in a BT Community Cluster Award which will give the successful recipients a year's free broadband and laptop, printer etc.

The Silver Surfers are applying principally on the basis of reducing rural isolation and passing on IT knowledge via Skype. They now have Rattray Hall on board, but another partner is required before they can apply.

The group is looking for another village hall or similar that has a group running (or that would be interested in setting up a group) that could meet on a Wednesday morning and communicate with them - sharing recipes, IT knowledge, information about their local area and lead to a developing mutual relationship. Rural Scotland is preferred.

This is an opportunity for a local hall to increase its use, gain broadband free for a year (no follow-on commitment, but landline connection required) and other computer hardware - and best of all link up with like minded rural inhabitants through the internet.
