We wish to encourage people to get together again after covid by holding two major concerts. The first would feature Kilwinning Orchestral Flutes and the second Irvine and Dreghorn Brass Band. We will invite school choirs to take part in both concerts. We will work in conjunction with Barrmill Jolly Beggars to deliver these two concerts. We believe there is still a major problem with many older folk being reluctant to get out and mix together and these two concerts aim to encourage socialising.
Funds requested: £1000
Concert 1 - Kilwinning Orchestral Flutes £500; School Choir donation: £100; Hall Hire £200: Master of Ceremonies £50 (travel expenses and thank you gift); First aiders (2) £50; purvey at interval: £300; Car park attendants: £30; Stewards: £40; Advertising/Tickets/programme £70.
Concert 2 - Irvine and Dreghorn Band £700; School Choir donation £100; Hall Hire: £200; Master of Ceremonies £50 (travel expenses and thank you gift); First aiders (2) £50; purvey at interval: £300; Car park attendants: £30; Stewards: £40; Advertising/Tickets/programme £70.
Total estimated cost of both concerts: £2880. This will be offset by donations at the door which will be donated to a local group viz previously Garnock Valley Disability Forum.

As part of the Scottish wildlife pioneer project, we will like to transform an unused part of the allotment into and alchemist trail. This will promote an active and healthy way of learning. Developing the area will encourage active exercise, improve good mental health, reduce social isolation and build confidence. It will also be a fun way to learning about foraging. Developing this trail will also be another addition to our allotment tour. Our tour at this time includes our honey bees, pipistrelle bats as well as fruit and vegetable growing.
Requested Amount: £1000
Skip hire £300 Signage £300 Equipment £400
Arran Kayak Club

We are a small kayak club open to all ages. We want to encourage youngsters but remove some financial constraints to young people gaining qualifications by the Club being able to offer payments towards course costs. In some instances being able to offer payments towards kit will make the sport more attainable. Handheld VHF radios and PLBs can be expensive, but a vital resource to the Club to ensure everyone's safety when out on longer trips.
Amount Requested: £766
Radios x 2 - £200 each (£400) Towlines x 2 - £58 each (£116) PLB - £250
