The actual saving for this action is quoted as being £317,000. In terms of the (diminished) education budget, this is an almost marginal cost. By implementing this cut, a small highland community is also being marginalised, as is our (minority) interest in traditional music.

I'm sure added value would be gained were the powers that be see that there is INTERNATIONAL interest in the furthering of such forms of education.

SO SPREAD THE WORD AS FAR AND WIDE AS POSSIBLE
