Comment posted Tonight: meeting in Oban on forming West of Scotland Watersports Hub by Mike Story.
A great turn out despite the thunderstorm. The fact that most people were dripping wet did’nt dampen the enthusiasm in the room.
I was glad I could lend support and signpost the way to become part of the Argyll and The Isles Tourism network.
A great cross section of businesses with the potential to combine and offer a wold class range of outdoor and marine activities.
Looking forwards to the next meeting

- I cannot speak directly for the organisers of this great meeting, but as far as Argyll and The Isles Tourism are concerned and from the general feeling at the meeting, a hub and spoke approach where all Argyll and The Isles based watersports and Marine tourism providers would be interlinked and would work togther.
Done well, this could provide the largest and most varied range of aqua based products in Scotland, if not Europe.

We are in discussions with various members of he production team. First up we would like a composit you tube clip to use for promotions. - West Coast Motors buys into Mull
Hats to off to Colin Craig and the team at WCM and KE. Mull, Iona and Ulva will benefit with a range of new transport options with a tourism focus, giving a bigger audience the chance to experience some of the most unique and special islands anywhere. The timing coming on the back of BBC’s Hebrides series and in the year of natural Scotland could not be better. - Kenny Campbell wins 2013 MOKRun Half Marathon

Great to be on this first voyage and the opening of a new gateway to Argyll and the Isles.
With West Coast Motors running great services to every part of Argyll from. Campbeltown we should see new visitors exploring Argyll. - ‘Ale and arty video for Fyne Ales in Marine Blast competition

Tiree’s standing as an international watersport venue is re-confirmed on a yearly basis by the Tiree Wave Classic windsurfing event. This event helps lengthen our core tourism season into the early autumn…with the rise of Kite-boarding we also now see year round activity on the water…have a surfing school, windsurfing school and a Kiteboarding academy.
Oban as a hub is a fantastic idea…but Oban and Argyll must not forget the inner hebrides…and one wonders why the 3 aformentioned were not present at the event…were contacted ?
