.:: Dounreay Communities Fund Hands Over £1500 For Holland Trip ::.

Date: November 2008
Location: Caithness
Dounreay Communities Fund has donated £1500 towards Caithness Junior Pipe Band and six Mina Mackay Highland Dancers attending the International Folkloristic Dance and Music Festival in Markelo, Holland in June 2009. The trip, being organised by Caithness Taste of Tartan, follows the visit of the Markelo Music and Dance Group who gave memorable performances throughout Caithness in 2004. The group of around 45 will benefit greatly from exposure at such an international event whilst representing the talent Caithness has to offer. Members of the Caithness Junior Pipe Band and Highland Dancers Lauren Mackay, Laura Mackenzie, Katrina Findlay, Kirsty Mackay and Aileen Banks are pictured here with Kevin Gunn, Caithness Junior Pipe Band and Margaret Macdonald, Caithness Taste of Tartan Committee receiving the cheque from Stuart Chalmers, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
