Campbeltown Town Hall Open Evening

[SKDT]

The South Kintyre Development Trust would like to invite you along to an open evening this Friday (30th) at the Kintyre Youth Enquiry Service (KYES) office on Main Street between 6pm and 8.30pm, for the Campbeltown Town Hall project. This is the night of the Christmas Lights Switch On and free refreshments will be available.

This is a good opportunity for the you to find out more about the progress of the projects and to meet the Architects engaged to draw up the design for Campbeltown Town Hall's refurbishment. You can look at draft building plans and get your chance to make sure that the draft plans meet your needs for the future community use of the rooms within the building.

You can get a sneak preview of the draft plans at http://campbeltowntownhall.org/node/44
You can keep up to date with the project by checking in at the project's website http://campbeltowntownhall.org/ or on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CampbeltownTownHall or follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/CampbeltownTown

The Campbeltown Town Hall is currently owned and maintained by Argyll & Bute Council with a plan to transfer it into Community Ownership through the South Kintyre Development Trust. The project is expected to cost about £1.3million which will be achieved through funding of just under £1 million from the Big Lottery’s ‘Growing Community Assets’ fund and the remainder of the funding from the Campbeltown Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI).

The project has passed Stage 1 of the Big Lottery funding process and is well on the way to succeeding in passing Stage 2 as long as the community gets involved by helping shape the draft plans and shows its support for the project.
