What a great building! Would make a beautiful house.

[MKT]

I do hope it goes to someone who will restore it without spoiling the look of the building.
Remember going to the youth club on a Friday night and the monthly disco(oh black betty) .
I think I once heard it was haunted or was that the old school?. mind you we once did a seance in the back room and the glass moved or did it ??????????

And I know a local joiner who is very very interested in doing just that MKT, if he can sell his own house that is.

I have also been appoached from outside agencies who wish to make a fast buck out off the property, to give them rough qoutes,and alteration ideas etc etc, its an awkward situation to be in, I would like the hall for a family home myself, without changing the character of the building, but... ...if im not the winning bidder then there is a possibility of a renovation contract for me, (you pay your money and you take your chance) as the saying goes..

[MKT]

Good luck whatever happens, it would be nice to come for a cup of tea, so you know who I am rooting for.

who owns it currently, and why is it that drumlemble no longer needs a village hall? - is there no attempt by the community to buy it and restore it as a community hall, there must be grants available - see thread on southend hall? just wondering

The Laggan community council own the hall but despite numerous efforts over the last 6 years or more there is nobody using the hall except when there is an election (it is used as a polling station) and occasionally for a church service. As there is not an election every year and there are bills to pay there is no other option but to put it up for sale.

I was a member of the community council when the problem of lack of use was first mentioned and members of the Drumlemble community decided at a meeting about 3 years ago that unfortunately as the hall was not being used by the community they reluctantly agreed that it should be sold and any money raised would go back into the Drumlemble area. It was agreed that members of the public in the Drumlemble area would have a say in what the money would be used for.

I remember that in one of the years when I was still involved the income was less than three figures and the expenditure was over £400.

Selling the hall is not something the community council would have wanted to do but in my opinion and the opinion of the members of the community who were at the meeting there was nothing else they could do.

thanks john A - didnt know the background

I guess it's a classic example of 'Use it or lose it'.

I agree with what others have said though; it could be turned into a lovely family home.

Hopefully it won't join the multitude that are only lived in for a few weeks of the year.

Aww what a shame to see the hall go. I remember the Friday night youth club, badminton (all thanks to Cathy) and the shows that we used to put on. It will be sadly missed but would be nice to see it converted into a home and being put to use.

I see the village hall in Kilmichael Glassary is also on the market.

Passed this again the other day on the way to Machrihanish. Does anyone know whether it was sold in the end?

I found a note suggesting it might have been sold at the beginning of June but can't find any more details.

[Ninja Mania]

Yes its sold, has been for 2/3 months, owners are currently gutting it out.
