Which will no doubt be paid for with money from New Cumnock, Dalmellington and Muirkirk Minerals Trust money.

Robbing money from poor wee places who suffer the anti-social enviroment.

How low can The Minerals Trust go?

David Sloan, get a life! This is obviously a team of people doing their best for the community. The team that actually put 'unity' back into community I'd say. Do you complain when Muirkirk have their Lapraik festival, or New Cumnock has their Gala Day or Dalmellington Band are awarded Minerals Trust money. The Minerals Trust fund the whole of East Ayrshire and just these 3 towns, obviously you need to do a spot of research before you open your mouth. I wish the organisers of Cumnock Carnival every success and I hope that it once again becomes a huge event that many remember it as and change the views of moaning old gits such as David Sloan and the others that have slated this event in the local paper over the past few months!
