Community Engagement Event – 26th February 2012
8th February 2012
By the time we hold the above event, we hope to have signed the lease for the land on which the new Aviemore Sports Centre and Ice Rink will be built. Exciting times!
As a community we now have the opportunity to input our thoughts and wishes for the type of centre we want. On 26th February we invite everyone to come along to the Peregrine Suite at MAHR and have their say on how they want their new centre to look and feel and the types of activity you hope will be catered for in the Centre.
This will be a fun event. Bring along the kids: their input is welcome too.
The day will be guided by a team from The Glasshouse which is a national charity working to help people make better buildings, spaces, homes and neighbourhoods. They believe in the power of community led design to transform places and bring positive and lasting change to local people. In addition, the Board of Aviemore Sports Centre will be on hand to answer your questions and encourage participation.
Why not pop in anytime between 1- 8pm. We’d love to see you, hear what you think and help you to make a real contribution to moving this exciting and vital project forward.
See you on the 26th!
More directors
4th February 2012
Welcome to two more new directors Morgane Artacho and Melissa Wall.
Melissa says “I am absolutely passionate about all aspects of physical activity; nutrition and helping people achieve their fitness goals. I think it is extremely rewarding to help encourage people who are relatively inactive to get fit and see the difference it makes to their physical and mental well being. I am keen to be part of this exciting project for many reasons………
Morgane Artacho who moved to Aviemore from Edinburgh in 2010 and has thrown herself enthusiastically into village life. She has a background in education, ranging from teaching to project management in the areas of student engagement and international education. Her work involved engaging people and organisations through promotion and project partnerships, thus securing further project funding and raising the profile of the organisations she has worked for.
Since moving north has been involved with Cairngorm Outdoor Access Trust. She is Club Secretary at Cairngorm Runners and a volunteer with Disability Snowsport UK.
She served on the Turning Point Scotland Board prior to moving to the Highlands, and currently sits as an adviser on the Citizens Advice Bureau Board where she is a volunteer.
