News for 2010 !
All going well, BIG KIC will take place between
August 8th - August 15th 2010.
We have appointed a paid organiser, Emma Neilson, and
will provide a huge 1,700 capacity tent at Colzium to
provide cover and protection from both the rain and the
dreaded Colzium midges - enabling events to continue into
the evening. There will a wide variety of family-friendly
events, a funfair, bar and much improved catering. The main
(provisional) programme events will be:
- Sunday August 8th - Canalside regatta and Jazz BBQ
party, village fun events across the Kelvin Valley
- All week tba: Burngreen bandstand concerts,
environmental and heritage walks, cycle hill-climbing
sprint event
- Friday August 13th - Dance competition and fiesta
event in the Big Tent at Colzium, followed by Comedy
Night
- Saturday August 14th - Scottish heritage day with a
Celidh band competition, history trail, historical
re-enactments, demonstrations, workshops and family fun.
Followed by a major headline Scottish themed concert
- Sunday August 15th - Carnival Day with all the usual
spectacular international entertainment, including a
series of amazing circus performances in the Big Tent
from acclaimed international artistes.
There will be lots of changes and improvements - and
whether you wish to set up a stall, have a go at stage
management or stewarding, or wish to perform, we need you.
