*Ben Nevis Challenge*

Portgordon Community Harbour Group Secretary Bob Thomson, is climbing Ben Nevis to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust
This is a remarkable challenge for him to undertake as he gets dizzy climbing the stairs at home! If you would like to make a donation please make a cheque out to 'The Cystic Fibrosis Trust' and send to Bob's home address:
1b Gordon Square
Portgordon
Moray
AB56 5RG
Although the challenge is for this coming Saturday donations can be received anytime after
These are Bob's words: (slightly modified)
Hi Everybody
Well this old smokin, drinkin, but fairly healthy guy has taken up the challenge to climb Ben Nevis for Cystic Fibrosis, I'm a virgin at this sort of stuff so decided that you might want sponsor me or bet that I can't make it, a little goes a long way so just make a donation if you can
Big thanks.

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!

The 'Speyside Fiddlers'
The 'Speyside Fiddlers' put on a great show. They are well known for their musical ability and were much appreciated by the crowd.. I've seen them numerous times and they just get better and better.

Another record month for site visits!
3,046 to our main site in July 2010
click to enlarge
Last months visitor numbers were a record since the site began and now the records been broken again by an amazing 43% increase on June
The increase is obviously due to the build up to and including Gala Day
It's great news for all concerned and I'm very grateful for the many contributions I receive from the Harbour Group Committee and others for providing timely and relevant information that I can add to the site
Thanks to all of you for looking at the main site - every visit helps

Banffshire Author chooses Portgordon to Launch Latest Book
Along the Coast
Burghead to Portknockie
click to enlarge
This publication is to be launched at the Portgordon Charity Raft Race & Gala Day on Sunday 25th July 12 noon. To purchase your signed copy just visit the Banffshire Maritime & Heritage Association Stall
This the latest in a line of books published by Stan Bruce, Chairman of Banffshire Maritime & Heritage Association, promises to be a good read for those with a thirst for local knowledge. It could easily be used as a platform of discovery for several Sunday afternoon car drives. It takes you to places you may well know but beneath the surface there are some hidden treasures - all part of the local heritage
From Burghead to Portknockie describes the journey Along the Coast and, of course, Portgordon gets a mention
The book comprises sixty pages and 124 photographs/illustrations/drawings. Very good value at £6.00 per copy with all proceeds going to Banffshire Maritime & Heritage Association
(registered Scottish Charity No SCH 040505)
