Bogle, Bailey and Sands become Patrons of Common Ground

Posted Fri, 06/11/2009 - 22:38 by Site Manager

Clare Lappin has been working away quietly to confirm Patrons for Common Ground Scotland. “I am delighted to be able to report that we have secured the support of three high profile performers, Eric Bogle, Colum Sands and Roy Bailey, who have agreed to become patrons of Common Ground Scotland. The patronage of such big names will undoubtedly raise the profile of Common Ground and so enable us to share our experience with a greater number of people.”

All three of our new patrons have never been shy of commenting on big issues as they see them.

Weekend Gathering at Wiston Lodge
5th – 7th March 2010

We have an opportunity to meet up again at Wiston Lodge (near Biggar) for one of our splendid weekend re-unions. Given that there is never a bad time to visit Wiston, early Springtime should be particularly appealing, crisp days and log fires allowing a great opportunity to start shaking off the winter blues.
