Local groups, clubs and organisations are being urged to take advantage of the advertising power of Grangemouth’s “Portonian Post” when it comes to promoting their events and initiatives.

Jamie O’Rourke, of Project Theatre, is a keyholder for Grangemouth and Skinflats Community Council’s new Portonian Post notice board, located in La Porte Precinct next to the town’s La Gondola Fish and Chip Shop, and is asking people to get in touch if they want to have an advertisement or flyer placed on the notice board.

Jamie said: “If you'd like a flyer or poster displayed, you can post it through our studio letterbox any time at Project Theatre, 30A La Porte Precinct, Grangemouth. We'll do our best to keep the noticeboard updated with current local community information, events and opportunities.

“Let's help spread the word about all the great things happening this summer.”

A spokesperson for Grangemouth and Skinflats Community Council said: “This is exactly what we hoped for – these notice boards will empower Grangemouth’s third sector, which does so much across the town to support our community.”

While the Portonian Post is an effective “old school” way of getting your information out there, Jamie is also looking at more technological ways to promote events for organisations and groups.

He said: “We're putting together a Summer Community events round-up post in the coming weeks to share across our social media channels and would love to help promote what's happening in and around the Falkirk and surrounding area over the coming months."
