Latest Round of Kintyre Club Donations Made!

As you know, a primary goal of The Kintyre Club is to follow in the charitable tradition of the original club, which was in existence from 1825 until 1981. Accordingly, all member dues are used to fund worthy causes throughout Kintyre. Earlier this year we solicited applications for our fourth round of donations. The directors and officers of The Kintyre Club met in June to review and approve the applications submitted and we are pleased to report that we have made gifts and commitments totaling £3,000 to a number of deserving organisations.

Organisations receiving donations this round were:
Kintyre Amenity Trust
Kintyre Amateur Swimming Club
The Picture House
Campbeltown Community Church
Friends of the Beatson
Mull of Kintyre Music Festival
Kintyre Canoe Club
Dalintober Primary School
Cheques were awarded at a special reception held in The Kintyre Club at The Ugadale Hotel in Machrihanish on 27 July 2013.

The next scheduled meeting of the Directors to consider applications will take place in September. To apply for a grant, please contact The Kintyre Club care of The Ugadale Hotel, Machrihanish or email kintyreclub@machdunes.com.

To be considered for the next scheduled round of donations, all applications must be received by 1 September 2013. Applications for special situations will be considered at other times on an as needed basis.

Reminder—Programme for Graduating University Students!

In 2012, The Kintyre Club began a programme to provide a cash gift to graduating university students to help cover the cost of their graduation robes and portraits. We are delighted to announce that we will be continuing the programme for 2013. To be eligible, students must have attended Campbeltown Grammar School and have completed a minimum three-year university degree program. To apply for a gift for a graduating university student, please contact The Kintyre Club care of The Ugadale Hotel, Machrihanish or email to kintyreclub@machdunes.com by 15 August.

The Directors and Officers of The Kintyre Club thank our members for their support, which makes these donations possible!


As always, 100% of all Kintyre Club dues received will be donated to Kintyre-area charities. Your membership, along with over 1,000 others, helped to raise £22,000 in support to deserving local Kintyre charities in 2012 alone.
