Orkney

Two weeks since the last post! I'd better do some catching up.

A couple of weeks ago I went back to a slightly damp Orkney. Things are really moving up there with an amazing increase in enquiries and applications. It's a pleasure to see how this sub-Region has developed under its enthusiastic volunteers. We're recruiting some more and we are very pleased to welcome Gavin Cullen on board who will be bringing his considerable experience to the aftercare team.
Orkney now has sufficient clients under its belt to play a full part in PSYBT activities. These will kick off with an Orkney entry into the PSYBT/Royal Bank of Scotland Awards. Watch this space for the winners and date of the local Awards final.

Whilst in Kirkwall, I met up with clients Andrew Cowan and Robert Miller from LP3 who will transfer your old vinyl to CD. "Graduates" of Orkney's Young Enterprise programme, the partners will reproduce your album taking the utmost care of your treasured and irreplaceable James Last or Bucks Fizz albums by using local stores as a drop-off and pickup points. Already, they have made such an impact locally that they are researching how to expand their venture.
