Formed in 2022 and constituted earlier this year, we are a group of volunteers who survey the core path network in Eglinton Country Park and identify problem areas affecting accessibility. We primarily improve paths where there is flooding and cut back branches and bushes along borders to help make paths accessible for all park users.

Arran Bee Group is an informal group of amateur beekeepers based on the Isle of Arran. We meet regularly to share knowledge about the science and craft of this ancient pastime and welcome new members keen to learn the first steps in keeping bees. The membership of the group is growing and we now need a mechanised way of extracting honey that can be shared across the membership to increase the supply of honey to island residents.
