Name:  Ian Ash
Position: Associate Member
Bio: 

Initially from Dalraddy, then after my retirement from teaching in 2015 when I moved into Kincraig itself, I have very much enjoyed being part of this community.  Recently, through Kingussie High School I have been involved with the youth in the area but also in the community in general through a variety of projects. I now have a variety of post retirement jobs to keep me occupied from driving the Cairngorm Funicular Railway or organising the Snowsport Hosts for their winter season. Also serving up the odd focaccia at the Old Post Office Gallery or a pint at the Suie!

Community Councils are governed by the scheme of establishment.

This sets out how they should operate including elections, membership rules and meeting arrangements.
