Your weekly news update Friday 24th April 2025
Hi All,
Here is the weekly news from the Ardentinny Community Council and the Village Hall.
Ardentinny Community Council News
It’s a quiet week for the Community Council, Forestry and Land Scotland have informed us that there will be a Seasonal Ranger who will visit the beach every weekend during the summer to advise visitors not to set fires or damage the site. We will just have to see how that goes. We have also advised them that the road to the beach needs attention, but we await a reply from their Civil Engineer based in Glenbranter to discuss pothole filling etc..
We are still looking for volunteers to be part of the Ardentinny Community Emergency Team, if you are interested, please drop us an email at ardentinnycc@gmail.com
Ardentinny Community Council Facebook page and Website
The Community Council website can be found here - www.ardentinnycc.co.uk
The Facebook page has been updated, search for Ardentinny Community Council and we have an Instagram site under the same name.
Regards
John

Ardentinny Village Hall Weekly News
HALL CLOSURE – NEW TRUSTEES NEEDED URGENTLY
The hall currently has 4 Trustees however 3 Trustees will be standing down at the next AGM. The AGM will be held on Tuesday 6th May 2025. The hall constitution requires a minimum of 3 Trustees for a quorum, it cannot legally continue with only 1 Trustee remaining. In the event of no new Trustees coming forward then the hall will be forced to close and the property sold. Surplus funds would then be transferred to other charitable bodies.
If the hall is lost it is highly unlikely that we would manage to get it replaced. It’s a fantastic facility for the village as well as being the emergency hub for the community.
Please, please if you are a regular (or occasional) hall Member or user consider ‘standing in the gap’ for a season so that we can retain the hall for current and future users.
If you want to find out more then send us an email ardentinnyvillagehall8@gmail.com
or come along to the AGM and volunteer.
