Troon Community Council

The Role of the Troon Community Council

Community Councils are voluntary bodies which exist within a statutory framework and which have been granted statutory rights of consultation. The general purpose of the Troon Community Council is to ascertain, co-ordinate and express the wider views of the entire community within its boundaries. Community Councils will seek to represent and include all sections of their communities, regardless of age, gender, ability, ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, or sexual orientation. They can complement the role of the local authority but are not part of local government.

South Ayrshire Council is offering people the opportunity to be part of this year’s brand-new air show by becoming a festival volunteer!

Plans are well underway for September’s International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight and we’re now recruiting volunteers to carry out a variety of roles during the three-day event.

This is an exciting opportunity to join us in delivering an action-packed festival that will bring a big boost to the area in many ways.

We’re encouraging people who would like to support the event to get in touch with us to find out more.  You can contact us at Volunteers@south-ayrshire.gov.uk

The International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight will take place at Ayr shore front from Friday 8 – Sunday 10 September 2023.

South Ayrshire Council’s Portfolio Holder for Tourism, Culture and Rural Affairs, Councillor Alec Clark said: “Volunteers play a key role in many events, and The International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight is no different.  This is the chance for people to roll up their sleeves and get involved in an event that we’ll all be proud of.  I’d encourage anyone who is interested to contact our team as soon as possible.”

South Ayrshire Council’s Portfolio Holder for Sport and Leisure, Councillor Brian Connolly, said: “We’re all excited about the new air show and we need as many hands on deck as possible to help us deliver a memorable event that will help put South Ayrshire on the map.  This is your opportunity to be at the heart of the action whilst carrying out a key role.”

Leader of South Ayrshire Council, Councillor Martin Dowey, said: “The new air show is all about people – bringing family and friends together to enjoy a fantastic weekend of impressive aerial displays and entertainment.  Volunteering is a great opportunity to become part of the festival, so please get in touch with us to find out more.”
