REMEMBER THE VILLAGE PANTOS?!
OK, Jo and Ully News Editors, You’ve got ‘us’ going. We (enthusiastically) accept the challenge to organise an “Ullapool ‘80s Pantomimes” community thing in the Spring. We already have sponsorship from Cinderella’s Ugly Sisters … seriously.
If you (or anyone) have anything in your spare bedroom cupboards/lofts/sheds, which would remind us of the Village Hall’s Aladdin, Jock & the Beanstalk and Cinderella pantos – from way back, now’s the time for it to – temporarily – see the light of day.
Phone Chrissy, 07926122011 or email chrissyboyd113@gmail.com for further info.
WANTED
Wanted, to borrow, Ullapool Pantomimes’ memorabilia: photos, costumes, props, the Aladdin script (other two found in the loft …), programmes, anecdotes, myths etc! Phone Chrissy 07926122011/email chrissyboyd113@gmail.com.
LOST
Lost: two adult Care Bear outfits, pink and blue. Phone Chrissy Boyd, 07926122011/email chrissyboyd113@gmail.com.

‘North West Regenerate’: another exciting opportunity for the North West Highlands
A large group of organisations is collaborating to develop an exciting local project called North West Regenerate: Supporting communities to drive – and thrive from – ecological restoration.
The project area stretches from Coigach in the south, north to Durness and east to Bettyhill: the same as the NorthWest2045 work that began in 2020 (see northwest2045.scot for details). A diverse range of partners are involved: they include community groups and local development trusts as well as community, private and environmental NGO landowners from across the area.
Following a successful Expression of Interest submitted last autumn, we have been invited to submit a Stage 2 application to the Endangered Landscape Programme – a highly competitive Europe-wide fund – for a 5-year grant (maximum $5 million).
The exact nature of the work is still being discussed. Broadly, we hope to include habitat restoration and building skills for nature-based jobs, as well as celebrating the connection between people and nature.
The partners are striving to ensure that the project is strongly embedded in our communities, as we know that is the only way to create genuine, lasting change. All partners will make project decisions together and share the responsibility for achieving results.
This short development phase (deadline 18th February!) is being coordinated by Coigach-based Lizzie Williams on behalf of all the partners.
If you would like to know more about this exciting opportunity, or contribute your ideas to help us ensure the project truly reflects the needs of our community, please join our online information session on Thursday 20th January at 7.30pm via Zoom. Please email lizzie.w.williams@gmail.com for a link.
