The brave new 3 Har­bours Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee have had their first full meet­ing at His­toric Cocken­zie House in appro­pri­ately the art room! It went very well, and there was much excite­ment and enthu­si­asm for the future. From the right Sandie Dar­ling –Sec­re­tary, Joanna Kelly, Carl John Bar­ber –Chair, John John­stone, and Fiona Crom­bie –Trea­surer. I am also please to say that the trans­fer process has suc­cess­fully begun. Again, with a com­plete change of man­age­ment, there is allot of trans­fer work to get through. But we regard the reg­is­tra­tion process for next 3 Har­bours Fes­ti­val a pri­or­ity. To speed the bureau­cracy, the team are work­ing at the week end to get us fur­ther to a posi­tion we can open the reg­is­tra­tion process for next years fes­ti­val. I can say even at this early point though, that we are con­sid­er­ing plans for a children’s com­pe­ti­tion for the cover 2016 cat­a­logue pic­ture, and a forum for the com­mu­nity to tell us what they would like to see in the fes­ti­val –amongst other things. There is much to look for­ward too!
