Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed the latest announcement by the Big Lottery Fund, which sees Banff Rock Challenge Group obtaining the award of £1,960 from the 2014 Communities Programme.
Commenting on the news, Mr Stevenson said:
“It is great news to learn that Banff Rock Challenge Group has achieved this much sought after funding which can go a long way in securing their future.
“I know that this particular award will allow the group to purchase costumes and design a performance at the Global Rock Challenge in Aberdeen in February 2011, for which I wish them the best of luck.
“Once again, my congratulations go to Banff Rock Challenge Group on such welcoming news.
“I would urge other organisations in Banff and Buchan to apply for similar funding, the benefits of which can help new and existing projects alike.”
