Scotland: National Rural Network
The Scottish National Rural Network will soon be heading to Aviemore for the fifth and final event in our current series of project visits taking place around rural Scotland. This time the theme is community transport and will be hosted by winners of the 2010 Scottish Countryside Alliance Best Rural Enterprise Award, Badenoch & Strathspey Community Transport Company (BSCTC).
Rural Network regional coordinator Matt Tyrer said "We've already had four hugely successful project visits taking place around the country, and with community transport playing such an important role right across rural Scotland we are delighted that the team in Aviemore are working with us on this fifth visit. It will be a great opportunity for people involved in community transport to come together and see what is happening in Badenoch and Strathspey, as well as to discuss issues, experiences and ideas with each other in what promises to be another great knowledge sharing trip."
To find out more about BSCTC why not visit our handy project host summary page. You can also find links to reports, photos and short films from the four project visits that have already taken place on our regional events page.
Participants will arrive in Aviemore the evening before the project visit (Wednesday 20th July) in time for a meal hosted by the Rural Network. This will be a chance for people to meet up and share hopes and expectations for the trip. Overnight accommodation and breakfast will be provided.
The project visit will take place the following morning (Thursday 21st July) and include a tour with a Q&A session. This will be followed by an opportunity to share ideas and experiences and make connections, and finish with a networking lunch.
This project visit is free of charge and the Rural Network will provide all meals and accommodation. There will also be some limited support available for travelling expenses.
Registration for this project visit is now closed. For more information email matt.tyrer@scvo.org.uk or call 01463 251727.
