We’re delighted to say that the much anticipated and longed for repair works to the roof of the Glendaruel Village Hall have begun today. The works should last 6 weeks and finish at the end of June. Here’s hoping the weather holds and everything goes to plan!
Month: May 2013
Last night Sara held the second of our Are You Ready? meetings. This was follow-up to the session in Edinburgh which Charles and Sara attended and was designed to develop our ideas into a more concrete format. Everyone enjoyed the session, as well as the tea and cake afterwards. We even got our new Community Forest Project Officer along too, Mark — here’s a photo of the group.
The other thing to notice is the refurbished Colintraive Village hall. Warmer, more efficient and much better acoustics mean it is truly a delight to meet there.
Congratulations to the Colintraive Village Hall Committee for perservering and coming up smelling of roses (and paint and sawdust at times too!). A wonderful team effort with contractors, volunteers and funders creating a really wonderful space. The Grand Opening is at midday tomorrow, following the Village Hall Committee AGM.
It could not have been achieved without funding and support from the Climate Challenge Fund, Argyll and the Islands LEADER Programme, Cruach Mhor Windfarm Trust, and Argyll & Bute Council. The work was carried out by John Brown (Strone) Ltd, Forteiths Heating and Refrigeration Ltd, Gibson’s of Dunoon [electrical], Jim Carruthers [decorator], Calum Maclean and Andy Henderson [for the hearing loop and acoustic treatments].
