Your Weekly news Friday 13th February 2026
Hi All,
Here is the weekly news from the Community Council and the Village Hall.
Ardentinny Community Council News
Ardentinny CC Website www.ardentinnycc.co.uk
The website is now back up and running, apparently our service provider was hacked so they took down all of the sites they look after to protect them until they found the one that was compromised. Luckily not us!
Ardentinny Community Council Meeting
A date for your diary, the next public meeting of the Ardentinny Community Council is on Tuesday 3rd March 2026 in the Village Hall. Tea, coffee and biscuits, all welcome.
Ardentinny Local Place Plan
The Ardentinny Local Place plan is currently being finalised at the graphic designer in Dunoon. Once ready it will go to the National Park Authority for validation (takes a month!) and then registered. Once it is registered, we will share it on the website so you can see all your feedback taken into aims and actions, capturing your views and wishes for the village.
Defibrillator replacement Ferry Slipway building
We have recently been informed that the defibrillator at the Ferry Slipway building has been discontinued by the manufacturer. It is the oldest of the three in the village. They have stopped the manufacture of the replacement battery and charge pads and we are unable to purchase them from the usual medical suppliers. Our medical suppliers say this is really unprecedented and did complain to the manufacturer but to no avail.
Although our kit is still valid into next year, if it gets used then we would have no replacement kit for the defibrillator. So, to cover for this eventuality we are now looking to purchase a new defibrillator for the slipway building (hopefully the same type as the two we recently bought, so if someone needs to use any of the three they are familiar with how to use them all). We plan to approach Ardentinny Renewables Trust for financial assistance for the purchase. We will look into placing the current defibrillator at a temporary suitable location in the village until the equipment goes out of date.
Ardentinny Outdoor Centre Fundraising Ceilidh
We’re currently raising funds for several exciting projects, including a brand-new ropes course, minibus purchase, and other upgrades to make the centre even better. To help us get there, we’re hosting a Ceilidh Fundraiser — and we’d love you to join us!
If anyone can donate raffle prizes please get in touch.
Date: 14/02/26
Venue: Ardentinny Outdoor Centre
Tickets: £15 per person (under 8 free)
Enjoy a lively night of music and dancing with the fantastic Inverhooley Ceilidh Band, plus some tasty finger food to keep you fuelled for the dance floor!
If you’d rather not travel home after a few tipples, rooms are available to rent for the night — just ask for details when booking.
To reserve your tickets or enquire about accommodation, email danielle@ardentinnycentre.org.uk
Cash tickets can also be collected directly from the centre by arrangement
