my plans to go were foiled - but heard all about it from a friend who went along - sounded like a grand day - well worthwhile too since it seems few people are aware of how much land is taken up with Trumps proposal and how close it comes to Balmedie visitor centre - to have the boundary marked out was a great idea. Glad for you all that there was a break in the weather.

Sorry we couldn't make it - the car just isn't ready for a longer journey - did get it back and took it to Alford this afternoon but really wasn't impressed with the brakes. I don't want to drive it again until mechanic has it sorted - the handbrake doesn't work either.

No - you shouldn't go far with brakes you are not happy with, that's a bit scary.

I was surprised we got as many people as we did considering the weather. We'll probably have another picnic some time.

were you on your bike? Hope you didn't see my pensive face as I was driving very slowly and carefully

Excellent day on the dunes! Did some good networking and looking forward to events in the future. Watch out for a documentary coming out sometime soon...independent film maker based in Aberdeen doing a thing on Trump for BBC Scotland.

Don't forget the next picnic on the dunes - Sunday 30th August. Should be a good afternoon - same time and place as last time - 12 noon - 4.30pm just north of the visitor centre, Balmedie Country Park. There is a LOT of opposition to the possibility of compulsory purchase, even folk who agreed with the golf resort originally. Let us show our support by being there. Remember, it is NOT a protest, just a family picnic. Bring all your friends!!

There will be a quiet protest outside the council chamber at Woodhill House, Aberdeen, on 1st October when the council debates whether to employ compulsory purchase or not. We must encourage ALL the councillors to vote and not to abstain, and to vote against CP being used to benefit a foreign property developer!!
