This week Herald Social's at MND Scotland's annual Cornflower Ball at the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow and Kai Agency's launch at Aberdeen's Marcliffe Hotel.
More than 270 people attended MND Scotland’s annual Cornflower Ball in Glasgow. Hosted by Bryan Burnett, the entertainment was from Big Vern ‘n’ the Shootahs and there were auction prizes galore.
The night raised £43,000 for the charity. The money will be used to allow MND Scotland to continue supporting people affected by Motor Neurone Disease and fund research into the illness.
Kai Agency, a marketing and business consultancy firm, celebrated its launch with more than 90 guests at the Marcliffe Hotel in Aberdeen. The firm, which
is the idea of golf industry professionals Kirsty Weir and Christopher J Campbell, predominantly focuses on golf, specialises in marketing, operational improvements, sales strategies and event management.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
