Rather long gap between blogs but don't be fooled - that doesn't mean nothing's been happening. Far from it! The business plan is now done, a pile of funding applications put in (including the biggest one to Highland LEADER which went in last week. A 20 page monster of a form plus a mountain of supporting paperwork. Took the biggest envelope we could find to hold it all), planning permission for the new extension granted, timber for the cladding found (after Scottish Wood accidentally drove off with the first load - whoops), trace heating installed plus a pile of other things. We're now working with Chris the architect finalising all the important details on the plans ready for the building warrant. And in between all that (plus the small matter of Christmas etc) we held our first film night at the hall last Saturday. Great evening! Good turnout, hilarious film (I, to my shame, had never seen Whiskey Galore) and superb popcorn. Raised more than £220 which we're sharing with the Whist Group who helped us with this event. From the feedback we got there's a bit of an appetite not just for more popcorn but for more films. So thanks to everyone for coming.
