<p>SeaSalt Streets have, as part of their vision, a longing&nbsp;to bring life and vitality into Saltcoats and in particularly to the heart of the town centre. We have successfully completed most of the vision created by the group, a vision inspired through extensive public consultation with members of the local community and beyond. One part of the initial vision remains unfulfilled -- the use of pop-up events as a means of building community spirit and ownership, a&nbsp;series of &quot;different&quot;&nbsp;one-off events to inspire others to think out of the box and to bring people into the town centre thereby stimulating economic growth. The events will also be used as&nbsp;an opportunity for SeaSalt Streets to showcase their group, it&#39;s vision for the future and as a recruitment tool for new members.</p>

<p>The Function Suite, while forming part of the building at Ardrossan Indoor Bowling Club is utilised in a totally separate manner. The Function Suite provides a Cafe, which provides meals to eat in or take away. The local Bridge, Whist, Fishing Clubs and British Legion Branch as well as the Visibly Impaired Group use it as their base. It is also used by the community for Birthdays, Weddings, Funerals etc</p>
