Editor – I would like to thank this newspaper for last week’s article, Plans begin for Dunoon half marathon in aid of Poppy Scotland.
Planning is indeed underway by myself and Karen Bancks. It is still early days in the planning stages, but what is desperately needed is support from local businesses. Organising events of this magnitude does not come cheap and there simply is no budget for it. We are wholly reliant on local support.
I will naturally be applying for grants to cover the expected costs of approximately £4,000 for the entire event, including the markets and live entertainment. If anyone would like to donate, can they please contact the secretary of Dunoon Community Council at [email protected].
If anyone would like to donate to the event or sign up as a volunteer, please use the link on our website: www.dunooncommunitycouncil.co.uk/half-marathon. Entry forms will be announced soon.
