Update by Yolanda Shoemake

The Group gave consideration to a report which documented the progress of various activities hosted by Dunoon Presents. In addition to this Yolanda Shoemake tabled a calendar of events for 2020. Ms Shoemake highlighted to the Group that some of the events for this year have been extended such as the Dunoon Dazzles Winterfest which is now held over 2 days and how they are using the geography of the area to its advantage by offering events in cycling, fishing, quad biking, mountain biking, running and triathlons. They also are aiming to get children involved in events they are perhaps not in a position to do otherwise such as sailing.

Discussion focused around how the Police Youth Volunteers are available to marshal events and how to promote school engagement which fits in with the health and wellbeing agenda of the Health and Social Care Partnership.

Decision

The Bute and Cowal Area Community Planning Group;

1.    considered and noted the information provided; and

2.    invited Dunoon Presents to return to a future meeting to update the Group.
