CONFERENCE
Our Conference in 2018, was a huge success and provided a resounding endorsement for a National Park in Galloway, attracting almost 300 delegates at GG’s Yard, near Gatehouse of Fleet.
The event was introduced by Dame Barbara Kelly who emphasised that this is a critical moment for the region. A series of speakers took part including three groups of young people. GNPA’s efforts to reach out to people through public meetings, events, social media and its own online survey had revealed overwhelming support from people of all ages and in all walks of life.
The conference paid tribute to Sir Alex Fergusson, who was an active proponent of the Park. MSPs Finlay Carson, Colin Smyth and Emma Harper attended alongside councillors and representatives of a wide variety of local interests and organisations.
The event received widespread media coverage on ITV Border News on the BBC and in many newspapers.
