22nd October 2009 Antler designs on TV

This year the 2300 club celebrate the 40th running of the “Best Rally in The World” the Tunnocks Tour of Mull rally. Crews face a trip round the town of Tobermory for the opening 2 stages of this years event, this stage last ran for the Millennium event in 1999.
This year, as in previous years, we will be doing 'Goodie bags' for all the Mull Schools, however, in a bit of a 'Willie Wonka, Golden Ticket' moment, we are including special GOLD stickers in FOUR of the bags....

All the bags will have a sticker in them from RallyTech (one of the 'friends' of the 2300 Club), but most of these stickers will be Black. Just four of the stickers will be GOLD though and if you are the lucky receipient of one of these gold stickers, then RallyTech have a special suprise in store for you. You will be met at the Tobermory car park, near to the distillery and then John Swinscoe (Seeded 21st for 2009) will give you a ride to remember in his Mitsubishi Evo 9 across the Mishnish Lochs road to Dervaig.

May 2009 - Channel 4's Time Team visit Baliscate

Island Holiday Cottage's Hylda Marsh and friend Bev Langhorn made a remarkable discovery through their work with 'Scotland's Rural Past' leading to a visit in May from Channel 4's Time Team.

 

Scotland's Rural Past is a volunteer led survey by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS).

 

What they found turned out to be one of the most important finds ever featured on the programme, which has been running for 17 years.

 

We can't disclose what was found - you'll have to watch the programme which is due for broadcast in March 2010.
