UKAEA For NDA Hands Over £300 To Sponsor Massed Bands
UKAEA Dounreay, on behalf of the NDA have sponsored the forthcoming Massed
Bands parade. The parade which takes place on Saturday 16th September in
Market Square, Wick will include the Sutherland Caledonian, Thurso,
Caithness Junior, Tain and Wick RBLS Pipe Bands. John Bogle, Pipe Band
Secretary, said: "We are extremely grateful to UKAEA for their support for
this major community event. Massed Pipe Band displays are always very
popular in Wick but they do cost a lot to stage despite the fact that all
the participating bands are giving their services free of charge. The
acoustics in Wick's Market Square are great for pipe bands and I am sure
it will be a fantastic night. All we need now is some decent weather!".
John Bogle is pictured here receiving the cheque from Eann Plowman of
UKAEA and his daughter Jade with the Wick RBLS Pipe Band.
The Massed Pipe Band display will take place on Saturday
16th September 2006 commencing at 7.30pm in the Market Square, Wick. Prior
to the event the Massed Band will march from the Francis Street Club to
the Market Square. There will be 5 bands taking part - Caithness Juvenile
Pipe Band, Sutherland Caledonian Pipe Band, Tain Pipe Band, Thurso Pipe
Band and Wick RBLS Pipe Band. There will be a mixture of Massed Band sets
and solo band sets. After the display there will be a ceilidh/dance in the
Francis Street Club starting at 9.30pm.
Lungwort Lichen Survey
A long term survey into a species of lichen that indicates levels of air
pollution has been started in Caithness. The survey has been organised
through Highland Council's Planning and Development Service Countryside
Rangers as part of the Caithness Countryside Volunteer programme of
events. Caithness Countryside Volunteers commenced the survey last Tuesday
8th August under the direction of experts in the field, Sandy and Brian
Coppins. "Lobaria pulmonaria" is a special type of lichen species found in
Britain. It is a leafy shaped lichen with the undersides resembling the
insides of lungs and therefore better known and remembered as lungwort.
Although common in the West, the species is rare in Caithness.
