Time Flies!
October seemed to flash by and with two very successful events: "Celebrate Linlithgow" and Linlithgow Book Festival.
Linlithgow Civic Trust's updated and greatly improved "Walks Around Linlithgow" will be launched on Saturday 22nd November in Linlithgow Library at 11:00 - well worth £6 a copy - author John Davidson will be on hand to sign yours!
The following weekend sees lots of activity with The Community Council Advent Fair and the monthly Farmers Market on Saturday 29th November.
Before we know it Christmas will be here. Pride & Passion Linlithgow wishes all friends of Linlithgow a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Let's Make More of Linlithgow
Provost Tom Kerr has arranged a couple of meetings of the many voluntary organisations that put on shows and events in Linlithgow to see if there is support for jointly promoting the town's attractions to both locals and visitors. His ideas include agreeing a theme for Linlithgow and The Gazette are collecting ideas. If you have a good one, please e-mail it to mail_linlithgow,com and I will make sure it is added to the growing number of suggestions. Some of the ideas that have been put forward already are:
- Agreeing an attractive promotional theme for Linlithgow
- Organisations getting together to run bigger and more diversified events
- Possibility of setting up a Booking Office that could sell tickets for all Linlithgow events, taking credit card payment
- Paying for some professional marketing consultancy to help promote Linlithgow and its attractions
- Joint advertising of events in Linlithgow
- Improvements to the events diary so that it includes everything that is on
