CGDTTonight in the Glendaruel Village Hall members of the community are invited to attend an initial meeting to investigate the possibility of creating a working group to look at the future of the clachan, and in particular its role as a community centre.

Rhona and I are presently preparing the draft of an application to LEADER for a broadband project to take advantage of a 1M euros fund the government have just announced. Luckily we have the Cadispa report to evidence much of what we say, and we also have some template documents to help with the technical side of things, but it is a bit of a rush. The draft will be presented to the board at our next meeting (25th July) and we’ll report thereafter.
