Stagecoach support Bluelight disco's with Free Travel
Stagecoach will be providing free transport to any young person traveling to and from the Bluelight Disco at the Spa Pavilion, Strathpeffer upon production of a Bluelight ticket.
CHRISTMAS BLUELIGHT CANCELLED
It is with great disappointment that owing to very poor ticket sales and interest shown for the Bluelight Event planned on Friday 2nd December 2011 at the Spa Pavilion, the decision has been made to CANCEL the event.
This decision has not been taken lightly and all due consideration with key partners was given to alternative means to promote interest, including our own police web site to market and encourage attendance. Unfortunately; this was not possible and the numbers of tickets sold (11) for all the schools is a true reflection that the event cannot be seen to be viable, regardless of taking a risk for potential late sales tomorrow or Friday. Due to schools closed today for industrial action the opportunity is not there to even try for another day.
Having spoken with some of the Bluelight partners it is felt that this is the right decision. The Partnership is very strong with everyone fully committed and enthusiastic to have successful and enjoyable events. Therefore, In order to keep the integrity of what the aims and objectives are It is intended to re - group in the new year and have a brain storming session on future events and in particular; to what young people are looking for us to provide.
I'm sure we all share the same disappointment with those young people who had bought a ticket.
Thank you for all the support and assistance provided as usual, should I have missed anyone from this e-mail please pass on.
Best regards
(Sent on behalf of Inspector David Greenlees - Chairperson of Ross and Cromarty Bluelight Partnership)

Here’s what some of the Bluelight partners think about Bluelight.
Highland and Islands Fire and Rescue Services, Chief Fire Officer Brian Murray.
"Highlands and Islands Fire and Rescue Service, and our partners, are committed to working with young people to positively address the challenging issue of drug & alcohol use in our area. This event gives our staff an opportunity to engage with young people in a fun relaxed and safe meeting place. It has also opened up new and unusual volunteering opportunities for Fire Service staff who want to help out in their local communities.
By providing this type of event, we hope the young people will enjoy the experience of dancing, meeting and socialising in a safe and friendly environment"
Scott Pearson, Stagecoach Operations Manager, in Inverness said: "We are delighted with being involved in such a worthwhile project. By providing transport to the event, we hope that we can contribute to the popularity and success of the evening."
Community Safety Police Officer, Carrie Shanks, Central Division:-
"We are very excited about this 1st event for our area. A lot of effort has been put into making sure that those who come on the night have such a fantastic time they will be desperate to come back. A number of partners have been working very closely together. By putting on this event we want to send out the message to young people that you don't need to take drink and/or drugs to have a good time. The aim of Bluelight is to provide a safe and fun environment for youths that does not involve alcohol or drugs and that is what we want to achieve."
