Homecoming 2009 and a big day at For Argyll

Today is the official start date for Homecoming Scotland 2009 and it is the start of two developments at For Argyll.

We are launching our own contribution to the national celebration of Scotland that is Homecoming 2009, running from Burns Night to St Andrews Day on 30th November.

From today onwards, For Argyll is launching Homecoming Argyll, a series of features, interviews and quirky facts pulling together people, communities and business in Argyll with people, businesses and communities all over the world with historical and accidental connections to this place.

It will be an ongoing lucky dip where the reach of Argyll will be better mapped and a new worldwide Argyll community will be set in motion. It’s about fun, an extended circle of contacts and more places to go.

This network of information and people may be launched today but it will not end on 30th November, It will become a permanent and growing feature of this site, keeping Argyll’s connections alive, meaningful and intriguing.

The second development today is with the site itself. At some time later on when you visit or revist the site, it will have changed. The change is quite a major one and it is still ongoing, so you can expect to see a whole series of quiet developments in services, functions, navigation and features over the next couple of months.

The For Argyll audience, internally and externally, is a large one and hungry for information on Argyll, its places, communities, achievements, resources and concerns. The site development is designed to support these interests as fully and efficiently as possible.

So wherever you are in the world, if you have an interest in Argyll or any conection of any kind with it – however coincidental or daft – let us know about it.
