Troon Gala Day 2023

27 June, 2023

The forecast for Sunday 25th wasn’t good but as often with forecasts Troon escapes
the worst. However it was obvious as the morning went on, the worst was coming our
way and a duty of care decision was made by TCC to move the event inside. In
TCC’s planning we had sought and received the back up of Troon Old Parish Church
Halls and now we had to quickly instigate that plan! The Troon Old facilities saved
the day – turning what could have been a washout into a great community event.
Everyone pulled together and Joe Millar, TCC’s Citizen of the Year, crowned the
Gala Queen – Niamh Wylie, Gala Princesses – Lucy Grant and Abbie Knight. Great
entertainment from Kenny James, Dancing displays from KB Dance and Performing
Arts, plus a large Ukulele Clan performance. The stall holders appreciated not
losing out on the day and we have to thank them for putting up with the cramped
conditions. It all worked wonderfully well, thanks once again to Troon Old Parish
Church, TCC members and a group of dedicated volunteers who allowed the event to
carry on.
Running over the school summer holidays, Troon’s Famous Odd Object Competition
is once again open to ALL primary school children.
Entry forms are available in the
Library or downloadable from TCC’s website:-

New wheeled-sports zone in Troon

14 June, 2023

New wheeled-sports zone in Troon

Scooter riders were showing off their skills as Councillors gathered to see the new wheeled-sports zone in Troon.

The former paddling pool on the town’s esplanade has been repurposed with an exciting array of ramps, bowls, ledges, and railings.

The dedicated zone which can be used by skateboarders, rollerbladers, BMX and scooter riders was provided by South Ayrshire Council thanks to developer contributions from Lynch Homes and Stewart Milne Homes.

Many of the zone’s features are the inspiration of local school children who were asked for their ideas at the design stage.

The facility was constructed by specialists Bendcrete Ltd, who have built hundreds of skateparks across the UK and Ireland. They use sprayed concrete which means they can incorporate more flexible designs.

Councillor Bob Pollock, Economic Development Portfolio Holder for South Ayrshire Council said: “There has been a real buzz about the zone and not only among locals. This is a facility which people will travel to use and that means more visitors coming to Troon which has so many benefits.

“I would like to thank Lynch Homes and Stewart Milne Homes for providing the funding and the project team for all their hard work. A special mention goes to retired Development Officer David Lowdon, who has pulled out all the stops to make this happen.”
