2008 NEWS: Annan Initiative Plays Host
On Tuesday 29th January members from the initiatives of Annan, Langholm, Lochmaben and Lockerbie met at ClipIct in Bank Street, Annan. Mairi Telford-Jammeh was chairperson and organised the event.

This was the first meeting to take place for quite some time. There were many new faces, so this was a great opportunity to get to know everyone. Members exchanged ideas, discussed policies and shared current projects.

Thank you Mairi for arranging the meeting and to the staff at ClipIct for providing the venue and refreshments.

Victoria Hall Project
Annan Initiative are inviting users of the Victoria Hall complex to join a working group, with a view to taking community control. At a meeting on 3 April 2008, a number of alternative approaches were discussed, and these will be considered by the working group.

Annan Initiative was set up in 1997 to develop and manage a phased programme of action in partnership with appropriate local and national bodies and agencies designed to regenerate and revitalise the economic, cultural and social life of the town of Annan and its immediate vicinity.

Improve the general environment
Stimulate economic growth
Provide information on local activities and places of interest
Promote awareness of Annan's history
Encourage the preservation of our heritage
Celebrate annual festivities
