PIER PROGRESS
Emergency repairs for the pier for this year have been completed. The shuttering over the two big holes at the back of the pier was removed by the contractors on Monday morning. Now we wait to see what the winter throws at us this time! Scottish Water have also indicated that the temporary structure currently housing their electrical equipment on the pier is scheduled to be replaced by the end of November. Meanwhile fundraising for the pier continues. Please support the craft fair being held to boost pier funds at the Kirk Centre in Ellon on Saturday November 16 from 1 to 4 pm.

DELFT TOUCH FOR THE PIER
Villagers may see a group of visitors at the pier and the community centre this Saturday (Dec 7.) They are from Delft University’s civil engineering department. The group are on a study tour in Scotland at present and have very kindly agreed to spend some time in Collieston to see if they can give us any advice on what to do with the pier. The pier group are indebted to Huib Attema, treasurer of Slains and Collieston Community Council, for facilitating this visit. We plan to give the group a warm village welcome (including hot soup!) and hope that the weather is not too bad!!!

Santa will be in Collieston, at the pier, from 4-4:30pm tomorrow (Sunday 8th Dec)!!

A WAY AHEAD FOR THE PIER?
On behalf of the pier group, many thanks to everyone in Collieston who contributed to yesterday’s successful visit from the party of young civil engineers from Delft University. Thanks are also due to engineering company Royal Haskoning who provided the transport to take the group up from Edinburgh for the day and who also made available the services of one of their members of staff for the visit. It was very encouraging to hear the range of ideas which were generated by two dozen keen young minds! We now hope that Delft University may consider the pier’s future as a possible study project for a small group of students. We hope to hear more over the course of the next few months.
