Arinagour School Trip May 1988
 
ARINAGOUR SCHOOL TRIP MAY 1988

Last year's great adventure took us to Glasgow, mainly to see the Garden Festival. We crammed a lot into four days, a full day at the Garden Festival, waiting to get in at 10.00am and getting thrown out at 8.00pm. Other visits included The Tenement House, Pollok House, The Transport Museum and Scotland Street School, Museum of Education.

Angus Kennedy arranged a special treat - seeing part of an episode of "Taggart" being filmed. He also took us to Strathclyde Police H.Q. at Pitt Street for lunch and a look around there. Our trip could not have been such a success without the help of the Coll Association, the Women's Guild and the Argyll and Bute Educational Trust. I am also very grateful to the parents who helped to raise the rest of the money and to the people who supported our fund-raising activities on Coll.

I would like to say a special 'thank you' to Angus Kennedy for the super day he arranged for us, to my mother and father, Adam and Myra Collier who were brave enough to come with us, and to my sister and brother-in-law Heather and Jim Sinclair who gave up time to be with us.
