    FOI-19-1479 - Cultural Strategy

    From: Foi Enquiries <[email protected]> Sent: 03 December 2019 10:22 Subject: FOI-19-1479 - Cultural Strategy Thank you for your information request of 04 November 2019. Aberdeen City Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information requested. Our response is now detailed below. Why does Aberdeen need a Cultural Strategy? And what are its restraints of having a Cultural Strategy? What makes an Art organization fundable? How does the council support Art organizations? It has been said in the Strategy keeping doors open for creativity. How open are the doors to Aberdeen’s Creative Sector? There must be restraints to creating. Why does Aberdeen focus funding more on Festivals? What does Culture bring into the city that other sectors don't? Is Aberdeen on track to hit the goals they have set? Aberdeen is one of the cities that will be deeply affected by Brexit. How will Brexit affect Aberdeen and its creative industrials and its Cultural Strategy? Where can I find the old strategy to see what has been done in the past? As the new 10-year plan has mentioned it a little in the introduction. The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 provides public access to recorded information held by the council at the time a request is made and does not cover officer’s opinions, comments or ongoing conversations. We are unable to provide you with information on your questions regarding Aberdeen City Council’s Cultural Strategy as it is not held by ACC. In order to comply with our obligations under the terms of Section 17 of the FOISA, we hereby gives notice that this information is not held by us.

    Bannockburn Live: a Feast of Food, Music and History

    NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND CALL TO ARMS UPDATE - 28 June 2013 Bannockburn Live: A feast of food, music and history Bannockburn Live welcomes Scotland’s Clan Societies, providing an opportunity for visitors to trace their Scottish roots and offering societies an opportunity to represent their Clans, meet friends old and new and to be a part of history. Medieval warriors, families, clans and history fans will be standing shoulder to shoulder this time next year at the National Trust for Scotland’s Bannockburn Live event. Taking place over Saturday 28, Sunday 29 and Monday 30 June 2014, the event will commemorate the 700th anniversary of the battle of Bannockburn, and mark the opening of the new state-of-the-art visitor centre at the heritage site. A year ahead of Bannockburn Live, the Trust has unveiled initial programme information, and tickets are now on sale (28 June 2013). Ticketing includes an exclusive offering for Clan Societies, with the chance to purchase pitches within tented structures for the 3-days as part of a bespoke “Clan Village”. We understand the urgency of Clans being able to book a pitch soon so that groups can arrange travel and accommodation. The Trust has already received interest from many Clan Societies and event organisers will be responding to each enquiry individually with an application questionnaire. If you have not already emailed us to register your interest in taking part, please answer the Call to Arms on www.battleofbannockburn.com by 15th July 2013. Please note the importance of registering as soon as possible as spaces are limited.
