Sent on behalf of Alzheimer Scotland:

Please find attached a copy of our What’s On Guide for September 2023.

There are a few changes taking place as we move into an Autumn programme of groups and activities.

Please note the Ayr Pace Setters walking group has been paused to be reviewed Spring 2024.

We have two new groups – Coffee Catch Up at Whitletts Court, Ayr once a month and awaiting confirmation for a monthly informal ‘Art’ group, also in Ayr.

*Advance notice – we will be starting an new monthly ‘indoor garden club’ in October – details and dates to follow nearer the time. This will replace the current outdoor allotment group which will be paused for the winter.

Ailsa Craig Centre Project – Your Opinion Matters!

Following on from positive discussions with the community last year, Go Girvan have taken the feedback on board and looked into having an Ailsa Craig Centre in Girvan.  They have created a document which details the background of the Ailsa Craig Centre project.  It also outlines the proposed features, locations and design considerations.  Go Girvan are keen for this to be a community-led project and therefore need your input.  Click on link above to access the feedback form and for further information.  Paper copies of the form can be picked up from the Tourist Information Point.
