East Perthshire’s Big January Get Together a Great Success

That the Parliament congratulates everyone involved in the successful organisation and running of East Perthshire’s Big January Get Together; understands that the Big January Get Together was a series of events running for four weeks aimed at bring people together during January, a usually dull, cold and isolating month; notes that events included free lunches, music, sports activities, face painting and evening suppers that helped bring together over 250 local people from all ages and backgrounds; recognises the hard work and dedication of the children from Rattray and Alyth primary schools who attended and successfully hosted this year's events; commends the Couper Angus Youth Activities Group (CAYAG), which hosted and served up a supper get together every Wednesday evening; acknowledges that this was a great experience for the CAYAG children to participate in and learn from experienced youth workers about the hospitality industry; thanks the officers and members from Perth and Kinross Council, St Anne’s Church Ecumenical Lunch Group, Active Schools and Tayside Contracts, which were involved and without whom, it considers, the 2020 Big January Get Together could not have happened, and wishes everyone who was involved in the Big January Get together the very best for the future.
