The Accounts have been passed by our external auditor. The audited accounts for 2017/2018 show that our activities resulted in a loss of £283.57 compared with a loss of £373.43 in the previous year. Class fees of £2073.50 in total were less than the previous year with the Saltcoats class having an increase of £5.00 and the West Kilbride class a decrease of £85.00. The costs associated with running classes exceeded income by £59. Our fund raising events during the year were less successful than the previous year and generated a loss of £310.40. The Children’s Day of Dance cost £548.60. We were able to cover the cost from our own resources. Donations accounted for £250.50 of our income. Losses connected with the provision of classes and the Children’s Day of Dance are completely in keeping with our charitable status and the association’s aims in promoting Scottish Country Dancing. I expect to see a slight surplus at the end of the next financial year. 8 SUBSCRIPTIONS: No increase in fees to RSCDS. Branch fees will remain the same. 9 ELECTION OF OFFICE BEARERS AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS Honorary President: Betty Fulton Honorary Vice President: Margaret Ballantine In the absence of the President and the Vice President, the Treasurer John Coy took the chair to oversee the election of the Chairman.

    Bathing water profile: Saltcoats/Ardrossan Bathing water: Saltcoats/Ardrossan EC bathing water ID number: UKS7616049 Location of bathing water: UK/Scotland/North Ayrshire (Map1) Year of designation: 1987 Photograph provided courtesy of North Ayrshire Council Bathing water description Saltcoats/Ardrossan bathing water is a 1 km stretch of sandy beach that lies between the towns of Ardrossan and Saltcoats on the North Ayrshire coast. There are rocky areas at Bath Rocks in the north- west and at the former boating ponds in the south-east. The nearby island of Arran can be seen to the west of the bathing water. The bathing water is also known locally as South Beach. It was designated as a bathing water in 1987. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 0–390 metres. The sandy beach slopes gently towards the water. For local tide information see: http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/ Our monitoring point for taking water quality samples is located at the western end of the designated area (Grid Ref NS 23453 41997) as shown on Map 1. Monitoring water quality Please visit our website1 for details of the current EU water quality classification and recent results for this bathing water. During the bathing season (1 June to 15 September), designated bathing waters are monitored by SEPA for faecal indicators (bacteria) and classified according to the levels of these indicators in the water. The European standards used to classify bathing waters arise from recommendations made by the World 1 http://apps.sepa.org.uk/bathingwaters/ Health Organisation and are linked to human health.

  • Saltcoats Town Trail Welcome to Saltcoats! This Trail Will Help You Find out More About the Town’S History
    Saltcoats Town Trail Welcome to Saltcoats! This Trail will help you find out more about the town’s history. The map will guide you through the town and the trail should take about 1 hour. Your starting point is the Museum. 1. Inside North Ayrshire Museum Where does Saltcoats get its name from? Saltcoats gets its name from the ancient tradition of boiling sea water to extract salt, a practice which the townspeople once carried out in their beachside houses. These houses were sometimes called ‘cots’ or cottages. An early name for the town was ‘Saltcots’. The salt industry gave Saltcoats world wide fame. In 1528 Saltcoats was made a free Burgh of Barony by King James I. This gave Saltcoats the right to hold markets and fairs. Not every town had this right. What do the pictures on Saltcoats crest mean? The lymphad (boat) represents the time when Saltcoats was famous for shipping and shipbuilding. The building represents a saltpan. A saltpan is a building where the salt was produced. The fish represents the former fishing industry. The three amulets* are taken from the coat of arms of the Earls of Eglinton and Winton. *an amulet is a charm carried or worn by a person. The motto reads ‘By Sea By Land’ Can you find Saltcoats crest in the museum? 2. Outside North Ayrshire Museum Before being a museum, this building was Ardrossan Parish Church. The church has a connection with the world-famous poet, Robert Burns! Rabbie and ‘The Calf’ In 1788, the Reverend Stevens was assistant minister at Ardrossan Parish Church.
