Bennachie from Kemnay

I was in Kemnay tonight for the Aberdeenshire briefing session on the new Scottish Rural Parliament. My third meeting of the day! First stop was Woodhill House in the morning for a meeting of the South Aberdeenshire Local Action Group. This was followed by a visit to the North East Scotland College campus at Craibstone and Clinterty in my role as a Board member. I had heard the other day that the Cabinet Minister for Education Mike Russell had approved my reappointment to the Board. My interview was a while ago but he's had other things on his mind! Then off to Westhill to buy refreshments for the evening session. One of my rules at something I'm facilitating is to keep the participants well fed and watered, and tonight was no exception! It's been a busy start to the week but worth the effort.
