Scottish Borders Cultural Forum | October Gathering

Date and time: Monday 29 October 2018, 6.30 – 8.30pm Venue: Unit 4, Cornucopia Rooms, Hawick TD9 9EA

Everyone with an interest in culture, heritage and the arts is invited to the next Scottish Borders Cultural Forum. The forum is an informal event – a chance to network, find out about local projects and initiatives and this month is kindly hosted by Julie Witford at Unit 4, Hawick.

There will be short presentations from:

• Julie Witford, will introduce Unit 4 – Cornucopia Rooms, Hawick
• Lucy Aldridge, will introduce OutPost Arts, Langholm
• David Apthorp, to give a presentation on his woodwork
• Andrew Mackenzie, to give update on the Hawick Flood Protection Scheme Project

The Cultural Forum supports the work of the local cultural sector by creating a space for networking, sharing concerns, ideas and resources and finding solutions to common problems. The Forum comes together informally on a regular monthly basis in different locations and provides a social get together, a discussion and a lively cultural experience. It is a champion not just for the cultural sector but also for culture’s role in the economy, environment, education, health and the quality of life that is so important to the Scottish Borders. Refreshments of tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. Please advise when booking if you have any special dietary requirements. The event is free but places must be booked in advance.

To reserve your place, please book via eventbrite or call 01750 726400 no later than 9am on Monday 29 October 2018.

Delegate List: Attendees at previous gatherings have found the delegate list useful in terms of following up on conversations with specific people or organisations enabling the exchange of information and contacts. We will be putting together a delegate list (which will include your email address) for this Gathering so please let us know if you DO NOT wish to be included. It would be useful when booking if you could indicate which job title and business/organisation name you would like us to include.
