Did anyone else see the advert in the classified adds of Fishing News, 14th December, from "Campbeltown Shipyards ( Argyll )" tendering to build new stern trawlers from 90ft (£3.5m) to 150ft (£6m).
???

Heard this too. Seems a rather strange advert...
Does this mean the Hall is opening again?

apparently whoever owned the shipyard has kept the name but are building boats up in the east coast,
i was puzzled masel when i read it but did a bit of enquireing about it and that's what i was told.

Surely our MEP should campaign for the enforcement of the EU Directive which states - as Champagne must come from the Champagne region of France and Jerez Sherry must come from Jerez in Spain, etc, then surely Campbeltown Boats should be from Campbeltown

what's the connection between the Hall and the Shipyard? what's happening with the Hall anyway, is it going to be a hotel again or just a mausoleum forever more? and wouldn't the old shipyard site be a better place for a/the marina??

try to keep up boaby
i was only ever in the hall once and i lived round the corner for seven years, as for the shipyard, hope they don't try to cash in on the good name for build quality?
