It's good to hear the Panto Tickets are now on sale

A fabulous show for the whole family

Refreshments will be available

Lets pay tribute to the cast - those that give their time freely to entertain the audience. They do it year on year and believe me it's hard work learning the lines. Why do they do it? - It's because they enjoy putting something into the village and what better way than some good old fashioned entertainment

It's also true to say that without the support of the village it would be nothing - It seems unique that a place the size of Portgordon can put on a show of this kind time and time again

Christine Crammond does a fantastic job in writing, producing and directing the Panto each year, something she does rather well, I think we all agree on that

More info is available on the Harbour Group Site

RAF Search & Rescue and RNLI Buckie Lifeboat

RAF Search & Rescue and RNLI Buckie Lifeboat will combine for a joint exercise on

Gala Day

Sunday 17th July 2011

Join us in Portgordon for what promises to be a fantastic day for all the family

There was some disappointment last year when the joint exercise didn't take place due the the Sea King being unavailable due to an emergency, although the crew were kind enough to do a fly-by on the way back to base - The lifeboat came as planned and played it's part in what was described as the best Gala yet - we were helped by having fine weather. Lets hope for more of the same this year

Portgordon Charity Raft Race and Gala Day is organised each year by

Portgordon Community Harbour Group

Charity Raft Race

Come along and watch the fun unfold as participants try to win the £100 prize for charity

click picture to enlarge

Always a great crowd pleaser - A crew from Buckie Fire Station won last year and as a result the Firefighters Benevolent Fund was richer by £100 - will they be back to defend their title this year - you'll have to wait and see

it's not just about winning though as taking part is a way of having some fun with friends and of course there's the challenge of making a raft - just the thing to be doing on these lighter evenings

The day promises to be full of fun so make sure you bring the family along to the day when we will endeavour to provide something for all

Latest visitor numbers

Site Visits

Highest ever August Visitor Numbers

click to enlarge

After the record month for July it's no surprise that visitor numbers have fallen this month even so the figures for August represent an increase of 43% over the same month last year and if you look at the graph you can see how continuous growth in viewing numbers over the months and years has occurred.

Visits or Hits - What's the difference?

A hit is when a server is called as a result of a search engine enquiry. For example if you type in 'Portgordon' on 'Googles' search engine today you will see about 19,300 sites that are available. This enquiry will be counted as a hit on the listed websites including ours - it is only when a link is clicked and the website opened that the hit changes to a visit. The visitor may then look at one page or several - it still counts as a single visit

Hope that explains the difference between visits and hits. I've shown this to Mrs Blog and she says it's as clear as mud!

Statistics picture might be clearer on the main website

Latest Website Viewing Figures

Thank you for visiting our website - every single visit helps Portgordon Community Harbour Group on it's journey to regeneation

Aprils figure of 1376 is a record for that month. The site continues to grow in popularity - it's good that it does. It's also challenging because looking for new content is quite demanding

The Blog is considered to be one of the more welcome assets on the site because it's published monthly. I enjoy doing it and the freedom the group give me in it's production is good. I can say pretty much what I think without any censorship. I do ask you to ignore the spelling and grammar errors that I do my best to avoid, but do creep in from time to time

Any budding actors out there?

I hear that a Pantomime is on the cards for the end of the year - now that's good news for the village. I'll try to find out more - watch this space

Annual General Meeting

These events are a necessary formality in any Groups calendar and are often considered boring - What I will say is I have attended many similar meetings in the past with various organsiations and I know they can get a bit tedious but, maybe I'm biased, this one will get to the point and will most of all will be an opportunity for those attending to get the true picture and a real feeling for what is happening with the Harbour Regeneration Project - so it certainly will not be boring

Please come along if you can

Thanks

Remember the Dog Agility Display from last years Gala Day

I'm going to ask the Dog Training group to come along again this year. The dogs proved to be one of the most popular attractions. It was a first and one that the committee certainly want to repeat. I'll be getting in touch with the Group and will let you know how I go on.

In the meantime if there are any ideas that you may have to add something to the day then please lets me know via the comments link - nothing will be published without your permission
