Front page of Courier this week. Quote from the article "This is a presitgious building and I am confident that there will be a demand for this excellent resource"

Who will be putting Public Indemnity Insurance in place, is it the "hirers responsibility" ??

Really good question Bonnie Lass. I always thought that an event was insured by the council whenever the hall was hired out but I heard recently that it is the person who hires the hall who has to take responsability if there is an accident involving the public who attend the event? Is it the same for the Vic holding childrens parties or Kinloch green whenever there are matches played?

Not sure the relevance of the question at this point as a viable use is still to be found and isn't it just highlighting more red tape for the Council to throw about? I imagine it is hard enough to organise anything nowadays without adding this?

Seems quite a valid point to me ! What if someone gets injured or killed in the building, through no fault of there own !

Not to be overlooked nowadays, with so many people claiming for this and that, with the slightest problem...
