Renfrewshire Licensing Forum Vacancies The Forum is independent from the Licensing Board but a the same time it shares the common goal of having the local community's best interests at the heart of its decision making. One of the Forum's key aims is to review the operation of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 in Renfrewshire. It also gives advice and makes recommendations to the licensing board about policy and strategy issues. About the Forum It meets at least four times a year. On of these meetings is with the Renfrewshire Licensing Board. Notice of Forum meetings is given on the council website and in Renfrewshire House, Cotton Street, Paisley, at least a week in advance. Meetings are open to the public. Notice includes the meeting date, time, venue and availability o f the agenda and reports. Forum members must be aged 16 or over, demonstrate interest in the licensing system, and be able to represent the views of the sector they represent. While the Forum comments on issues it feels are appropriate – it does not advise the board on individual cases.

It will be performed by "Capricorniche", a group of four singers with piano accompaniment, and was commissioned by the Burns Mother Club in Greenock for the Scottish Homecoming year and the 250th anniversary of Burns` birth. The show is based on imaginary letters between the two famous men, whose short lives coincided almost exactly in the latter half of the 18th century. In addition there will be a selection of their most appealing musical compositions. The group`s accompanist is our very own Gordon Mabbot, who is very well-known as a musician and teacher, especially in Beith where he lives. He is also of course Vice- President of Beith Arts. An alternative title for this performance might well be "Gordon Mabbot and Friends". The two great men never met or wrote to each other in real life, but it is fascinating to contemplate what they would have imparted if they had. Perhaps their views on politics, religion, certainly music and lyrics, and maybe many other more surprising topics than those. Come and find out what "Capricorniche" have to offer in the way of ideas about that, and enjoy a "Burns Night" with a difference at the Beith Community Centre, Kings Road, at 2.30 on Sunday afternoon , 23rd January 2011. Tickets £8 (concessions £6), students and children £1. All are very welcome.
