Final push for all those who haven’t completed the evaluation - please - every response helps . Thank you 😊

As Loch Ryan returns to its peaceful calm, we are still buzzing from the incredible success of SkiffieWorlds 2025.

But none of this would have been possible without our amazing Stranraer community and the local businesses, sponsors and organisations who went above and beyond.

A huge THANK YOU to:
🏪 More than 50 local businesses who supported SkiffieWorlds through generous sponsorship, including our headline sponsor EcoGen
🎪 All our festival partners who brought the shoreside programme to life with music, fun and wellbeing
🙌 Our incredible volunteers who gave their time, energy and enthusiasm
🏛️ Our major funders, Dumfries and Galloway Council, EventScotland, South of Scotland Enterprise, Kilgallioch Community Fund and the Galloway Association of Glasgow for believing in our vision
💙 Every local organisation who pitched in and went above and beyond to make the magic happen

A reminder that our surveys are still open and hungry for your response! Please complete the survey(s) that are most relevant to you:

Rowers and those associated with competing clubs: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/skiffieworlds25crew

Local people and visitors attending as spectators: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/skiffieworlds25visitors

Local businesses: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/skiffieworlds25businesses

Thank you for all the kind words about SkiffieWorlds. We now need your help.

Please take part in our post-event surveys to share your experience of your visit to SkiffieWorlds.

We have appointed an independent research company to do this, so that the results are unbiased. They will be assessing the local economic impact of SkiffieWorlds, as well as providing feeedback to inform future events.

Please complete the survey(s) that are most relevant to you:

Rowers and those associated with competing clubs: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/skiffieworlds25crew

Local people and visitors attending as spectators: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/skiffieworlds25visitors

Local businesses: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/skiffieworlds25businesses

There is also a separate survey for traders, but this will be sent directly to traders by email.

The researchers have recommended we encourage responses by way of a prize or incentive. We don't think you need bribed in this way!

But we do have some left over merchandise, so we'll ask them to select some survey respondents at random and send a few lucky people some SkiffieWorlds goodies.

And as a small thank you in advance, here's a special video of some of the canine visitors to SkiffieWorlds, made by Patrick Rooney for CT Productions. We don't need survey responses from the dogs, but everyone else who attended, please get those surveys filled in!

If you have any questions, please do let us know.

Thank you so much!
