2010 heralds a new era of community facilities at Breadalbane Academy, including the completion of new modern sports facilities. A key driver in the thinking behind setting up the Sports Trust was the breaking news that new sports facilities in Aberfeldy were finally coming into view albeit on a future horizon. Breadalbane Academy had for too many years suffered from having appalling sports facilities in terms of having no Games Hall, no floodlit astro facilities and poorly draining games pitches that turned into a bog during the autumn and winter months. Initially it was hoped that the new facilities would be ready for 2007 but the revised completion date is now November 2010.

Our Sponsors 2004-2010
We would like to continue our recognition of sponsors despite the fact that some of the funding streams have come to an end. Our initial milestone was the year 2010. We are now taking stock of our achievements and are reviewing how best we can involve future sponsors in supporting our selected sports and developing our key ideas and aims.
To date Ptarmigan have been the major sponsors of the Sports Trust. Without their assistance it is doubtful if our story could have ever started.
We have received funding from the Gannochy Trust for the period up to 2010. To date this has been one of the bedrocks of our success. .
Barhaul are current sponsors of our new Girls Football Coaching programme. If you are carrying out home improvements or building works check them out. They deserve your trade!
The school has been an active partner throughout the life of the Sports Trust. Their financial support has also allowed for all their feeder Primary Schools to benefit from our coaching programmes.
Lights On!
