Digitisation of Collections
17 comments North Coast
<p>Largs Museum has a wonderful collection of Art, Artifacts, Photographs and Postcards, many of which are over 100 years old. <br /> <br /> It is important that these collections be digitized so they can be made readily available to the local community without placing any undue stress on the originals many of which are fragile. <br /> <br /> All of the musuem's collections relate to our local heritage such as artifacts, events, people and places. </p> <p>As an independent museum run by volunteers we are funded mainly by donations from visitors to the museum.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

WK Yuletide Group - Replacement of electrical system for Xmas lights
2 comments North Coast
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Installation of replacement electrical system for Yuletide lights in Ritchie Street and Main Street West Kilbride Ayrshire. Work is required because the existing electrical system which has been in place for many years no longer complies with current electrical regulations as recently intimated by NAC Building Services.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">New/replacement connections need to be provided from a number of premises in the village and the external wall cabling needs to be replaced as it is over 25 years old. Without this work taking place there will no longer be street lighting motifs for Yuletide activities in West Kilbride much to the detriment of community wellbeing.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If this project doesn't go ahead there will be no Yuletide street lights this year in West Kilbride for the first time in over 25 years.</span></span></p>

West Kilbride Yuletide
No comments North Coast
<p>West Kilbride Yuletide is an annual event that brings members of the local Community together to celebrate the Christmas. <font color="#00000a" face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Yuletide 2022 was a great success and brought back a sense of Community togetherness following COVID.</span></font></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:103%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:#00000a">All activities are free therefore everyone can participate and feel included. By providing free activities, it addresses poverty and inequality by making it accessible for everyone, which is important as we are going through a Cost of Living Crisis.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-indent:0cm; margin-bottom:7px"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:103%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:#00000a">The activities in this event will help to bring back the joy and happiness it brought to all members of the Community. The knock-on effect of this will enhance the Health and Wellbeing of all generations.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-indent:0cm; margin-bottom:7px"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:103%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:#00000a">West Kilbride Yuletide is an excellent example of inter-generational working and breaks down several barriers that exist between generations and brings a sense of Community Cohesion and Community Spirit.</span></span></span></span></p>
