    The Highland Licensing Board Agenda 6 Item Meeting – 23 June 2020 Report HLB/036/20 No The Highland Licensing Board Functions Report 2019-20 Report by the Clerk to the Licensing Board Summary This report invites the Board to approve the Board’s third annual functions report for publication in accordance with section 9A of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. 1. Background 1.1 The Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015 amended the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the Act”) to introduce a requirement that Licensing Boards produce and publish annual functions reports. 1.2 As a consequence, section 9A was inserted into the Act and came into force on 20 December 2017. 1.3 Section 9A of the Act states that the Board’s annual functions report must be prepared and published not later than 3 months after the end of each financial year. This means that the Board’s report for the financial year 2019-20 must be published, under normal circumstances, by no later than the end of June 2020. It is noted that under schedule 5 of the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 that a further 9 months is available to the Board if they are unable to publish their annual functions report by the end of June, due to a reason relating to coronavirus, but that is not required in this case. 1.4 The functions report must include- (a) a statement explaining how the Board has regard to- (i) the licensing objectives, and (ii) their licensing policy statement and any supplementary licensing policy statement (including the Board’s statement under section 7(1) (duty to assess

  • Throw Up20.18
    Highland Print Studio Throw Up 20.18 Artist Brief Introduction Highland Print Studio Highland Print Studio (HPS) is a printmaking and digital imaging facility based in Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. The Studio operates from its own premises overlooking the River Ness, in the heart of the city and has facilities for a range of printmaking techniques including screenprint, intaglio, relief print and lithography (photo plate and stone). Its recently upgraded digital suite includes facilities for high-spec digital imaging, large-format photographic printing and high-resolution scanning. Highland Print Studio is a Creative Scotland Regularly Funded Organisation and is also in receipt of revenue funding from Highland Council. HPS is a unique and vital part of the arts infrastructure of the Highlands and attracts studio users from across the Highlands and Islands and further afield. In addition to providing an open access workshop, Highland Print Studio has a varied artistic programme. This includes residencies, commissions and professional development for artists and an education and outreach programme that works with schools and community groups across the Highlands. This original project fulfils one of the organisation’s objectives, which is to engage new audiences with the visual arts and to demonstrate how visual art can connect to people’s lives. We are delighted to have formed these new partnerships with the shinty clubs involved and the Camanachd Association. The participating clubs are Beauly, Newtonmore, Fort William and Skye. www.highlandprintstudio.co.uk www.facebook.com/highlandprintstudio @HighPrintStudio www.instagram.com/highlandprintstudio Shinty “Swift, sea-going curraghs from the north-east coast of Ireland first shipped the caman and the ball, with Christianity and the Gaelic language, to Scotland.” (R.

  • Kingussie Shinty's Famous Five
    Shinty In the Highlands of Scotland it is customary for persons to amuse themselves, in the winter season, with a game which they call ‘shinty’…In the struggles between contending players, many hard blows are given, and frequently a shin is broken, or by a rarer chance some more serious accident may occur. The writer witnessed a The Dell, home of Kingussie match, in which one of the players, having gained possession of the ball, contrived Camanachd Club and scene to run a mile with it in his hand, pursued by both his own, and the adverse party, until of many great victories. In 1893, shinty’s Camanachd he reached the appointed limit, when his victory was admitted.

However shinty had already been played in some form around the Highlands for centuries. Kingussie Camanachd Club is arguably the most successful team in the history of the sport. They have won the Camanachd Cup on 22 occasions (including seven consecutive wins between 1997 and 2003) and were league champions on 20 consecutive The Game of Shinty – illustration in the Penny Magazine, 1835. occasions between 1986 and 2005. The 1896 Camanachd Cup victory was the beginning of a very successful spell for Kingussie.

  • Running Head: SPORTS COVERAGE on BBC ALBA 1 Sports Coverage
    Running head: SPORTS COVERAGE ON BBC ALBA 1 Sports Coverage on BBC ALBA: Content, Value and Position in the Scottish Broadcasting Landscape Xavier Ramon Vegas and Richard Haynes Published Online First: Communication and Sport 29 January 2018 Abstract Through a mixed-method approach, we examine the sports programming offered by BBC ALBA between 2008 and 2016 and identify the value that the channel creates in Scotland through its diverse sports portfolio. In an increasingly cluttered and complex scenario where pay TV giants Sky and BT hold a plethora of top-tier rights and BBC Scotland and STV cannot fit more sport into their schedules, BBC ALBA serves Gaelic-speaking and national audiences with a regular diet of quality sports programming. Beyond being instrumental to filling schedules, sports content has been a gateway for Gaelic, a key driver of BBC ALBA’s investment in the creative sector and a contributor to the development of grassroots sport in Scotland. However, the financial situation under which the channel operates makes it very difficult to sustain and improve its current position. This case study demonstrates that sport broadcasting offers genuine opportunities to maintain linguistic and cultural diversity in small nations, even in a context characterized by escalating competition, dwindling resources and the proliferation of multiple viewing portals.
