On the 5th December Active Support are holding their first social event since before Covid19. It will be a low key affair but will allow members to meet up without a paintbrush, spade or screwdriver in their hands.

Meeting at Beechwood at 13.30, we will have a 1.5 hour walk taking in some of the main features of Stirling before returning to Beechwood for a cuppa, cake and a blether. Members should contact Colin if they wish to go, as should any members who want to skip the walk but join the rest afterwards at Beechwood. We will wind up at about 16.00.

If anyone else would like to join us and find out more about Active Support, please contact Colin Smith at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. or visit the ABOUT US section of this website

As some of you will already know, after 7 years in the post of Booking Secretary, Carla Wilson has stepped down from the role, but we have been very lucky in finding such an able replacement in Catherine Collington. Cath is already getting to grips with the booking procedures, and it has been something of a baptism of fire as she has had to deal with the start up of the centre for day use and then for camping. I'm sure you will find Cath every bit as helpful as Carla in dealing with your bookings and enquiries.

I would like to thank Carla for her tireless work over the years, for being our first point of contact for the site, and the quiet competance with which she dealt with the unusual and unexpected, as well as the mundane. I know that latterly she was finding it challenging, due to extra pressures at work caused by the Covid pandemic, and I am sure you will join with me in wishing Carla all the best.

We are also at this time carrying out a review of our booking process. An amended procedure will in place for next year, details of which will be uploaded to the Invertrossachs webpages in late November, and will include a new Booking Form, Payment Form, and Water Activity Enquiry Form.

We have created a Water Sports Information Document to explain all things water based!

We are hoping this resource will be useful for those wanting to find out more about what is on offer and how to get involved and gain a permit. 

A link to the document can be found HERE or in the Resources -> Water Activities -> Water Sports Information section of the website. 

If you have any questions please get in touch with one of the water team.
