Last week, the South Ayrshire Conservative and Unionist Association visited our neighbours in East Ayrshire and ran a successful bottle stall at the Cumnock Highland Games.

We want to thank the people of Cumnock and all visitors for the warm welcome.

The South Ayrshire Conservatives had another successful year at the Prestwick Prom. Our bottle stall was so busy, we managed to give away all the prizes a couple of hours before the close of the event.

The South Ayrshire Conservative Association had another successful stall at this year's Holy Fair. 

Last week, the South Ayrshire Conservative & Unionist Association was delighted to be visited by Guy Opperman MP.

In last month's budget, the SNP/Labour/Independent administration agreed to introduce charges for children and young people who receive musical instrument tuition in South Ayrshire.

Yesterday, we had a large team of local activists delivering letters in Cumnock, New Cumnock, Ochiltree and Coylton, which included a number of new faces to our ever growing campaign team. It was one of the most successful delivery events we've had in recent years. 

Last week, Prime Minister Theresa May visited the workers of the Alex Begg textile factory in Ayr. This was part of a UK wide tour to mark one year until we leave the European Union.

On Wednesday, the South Ayrshire Conservative and Unionist Association held our 3rd annual Bridge Drive. This year's event was a massive success, with a record number of tables booked. 

We wish to thank all the participants and organisers of this great event.

Today, the South Ayrshire Conservative and Unionist Association held its annual AGM in Ayr. The meeting was well attended, with many active party members in attendance. They heard great speeches from John Scott MSP, Bill Grant MP and Cllr Martin Dowey.

Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker…….May I begin my maiden speech by saying that I am indeed honoured and humbled to be in this Chamber today, having been elected by the people of Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock? It is privilege, and I will always remember that they trusted me with their vote.
