Very many thanks to all community groups and volunteers who helped make Tall Ships Greenock so memorable an event.
For Red Arrows 1130 and Parade of Sail 1300 Tuesday, Park and Ride relocated closer to Greenock.
Best views of Red Arrows and departing ships from Greenock’s Esplanade. New location for Park and Ride beside Tesco Extra supermarket Port Glasgow, coaches to Esplanade.
Current Park and Ride Nether Southbar, Bishopton closed. Drivers directed to new location. Park and Ride at IBM will remain same, coaches to Esplanade.
And a realy big hand for our Project Manager, Helen Drummond, who has worked tirelessly to make the event the success it has been.
Very well done to our Entertainment Manager, Kim Wilson of FS Events, and to our Project Manager - Communities, Sharon Hodgson, for an excellent programme.
