Castle Douglas Civic week always needs helpers for its events. They've got a page on Facebook (if you do FB) where you can become a fan and they'll let you know what you can do. http://www.facebook.com/CastleDouglasCi ... 506&ref=mf You can also post a reply here if you want to help and don't do FB. Nearer the events we'll post more details about how you can get involved if you want to.

Thanks for that! I dont facebook but I can keep up to date here

[Gallovidian]

Glad to help!

We've set up a Google page for anyone who might have ideas about what Civic Week could provide in the future.

http://www.google.com/moderator/#15/e=5 ... 5d2d.28b14

If we get several ideas then we will probably set up the ability for folk to vote on what they think would be best. (You can actually vote already if you have a Google account, and you can vote anonymously, but eventually we'll organise the ideas so as to have a short list for voting)

And of course we'll add more content here to keep you all up to date with Civic Week

Castle Douglas Civic Week are seeking nominations for Douglas Lad and Lass for 2010. This year they'd like to see teenagers in the 15-18 year old range nominated. They'll still choose two younger ones from the Primary School.

If you know someone who would be pleased to be nominated, email me on this forum and I'll pass any names on. The committee will do all the usual selection process.

Being a Douglas Land or Lass is an important job; representing Castle Douglas during Civic Week and beyond.

The application forms for Douglas Lad and Lass are now released.
