The Future of Doonies Farm - Scotland's largest collection of rare breeds and also an important green space, educational centre, tourist attraction and environmentally friendly use of coastal lands – hangs in the balance.  On 25 June the full Aberdeen Council will vote on whether or not to allow the newly-formed group, Friends of Doonies, to implement its business plan and take over the running of the farm.  Crucial to the farm’s continued existence is the identification of potential sponsors and donors – and in this regard we seek your help.

You are invited to a preview to the preview of 'Art & Jewellery' at the Torry Youth Cafe At Phoenix Club.
