The very popular Opportunity Kintyre September Ball will be held in Campbeltown Grammar School on Saturday 27th September this year.

The Special Guest Speaker will be Dr Vincent Cable MP, Deputy Leader and Shadow Chancellor of the Liberal Democrats.

It promises to be an evening to remember. We are fortunate in having two excellent guest speakers in Vince Cable and Ernesto Sirolli, and we will be featuring the clay sculpture of Jenny Dossor, one of our talented clients. The Ball will begin with a complimentary glass of champagne at the door, and there will be a buffet and dancing to the Twisted Melons and Archie & Alex McAlister's Ceilidh Band.
