Digitisation of Collections

17 comments Largs Museum North Coast

<p>Largs Museum has a wonderful collection of Art, Artifacts, Photographs and Postcards, many of which are over 100 years old.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> <br /> It is important that these collections be digitized&nbsp;so&nbsp;they&nbsp;can be made readily available to the local community without placing any undue stress on the originals many of which are fragile.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> All of&nbsp;the musuem&#39;s collections relate to our local heritage such as artifacts, events, people and&nbsp;places.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>As an independent museum run by volunteers we are funded mainly by donations from visitors to the museum.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

West Kilbride Yuletide Festival and Xmas lights

WK Yuletide Group - Replacement of electrical system for Xmas lights

2 comments Stuart Fyfe North Coast

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Installation of replacement electrical system&nbsp;for Yuletide lights in&nbsp;Ritchie Street and Main Street West Kilbride Ayrshire. Work is required&nbsp;because the existing&nbsp;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:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">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&nbsp;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:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">If this project doesn&#39;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 Deirdre Oakley North Coast

<p>West Kilbride Yuletide is an annual event that brings members of the local Community together to celebrate the Christmas.&nbsp; <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.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp; 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>
