Your weekly news from the Community Council and Village Hall Friday 18th July 2024
Hi All,
Here is the weekly news from the Ardentinny Community Council and the Village Hall. (A quiet week!).
Ardentinny Community Council News
Western Ferries – Concessionary Ticket Travel
Many of you will be aware, but just in case you aren’t, for those using the concession tickets on Western Ferries, staff are asking to see your Travel Ferry Card. If you can’t show it then you will be charged for a full price ticket. Apparently, this is not at the behest of Western Ferries but Strathclyde Passenger Transport.
Roadworks – FLS road from village hall through to the Beach, work starts mid August 2024
Start date for repairs to the road by Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) is still mid-August. (Initial start date was Monday 13 May 2024).

Village Hall Weekly News
Village Hall Quiz Night
John is taking a well-earned break now for the summer so there will be no Village Hall Quiz in August but he will be back with the next quiz taking place in September. We will announce this closer to the time.
Broadband
Stuart has managed to get the Broadband up and running again after some issues with the Vodafone network – all the hardware working fine, so we are again able to make wifi calls in an emergency.
Donations
The Hall needs lots of TLC - refurbishment to heating, disabled toilets and access, upgrades to kitchen facilities and general building maintenance, all this costs a great deal of money. With this in mind the management team have set up a number of methods to enable the community to easily donate to the community hall fund:
- If you don’t have a smart phone and don’t like using technology we have installed a donation box immediately inside the hall entrance. Please support the hall whenever you use it – this will enable us to ensure that the hall remains available for both current and future residents.
ii) If you have a smart phone then you can scan this QR code (below) this will take you direct to a secure PayPal link and enable you to give direct to the hall – you can make a one-off donation or even regular monthly donations (if you prefer). You don’t need to have a Paypal account to do this.
iii) If you do have a PayPal account and don’t like using QR codes then if you highlight and press Control+Click on this link you can give directly to the hall using PayPal.me
(you can also do this by simply typing this into your Browser)
Please give, because none of this is possible without your support - “every little helps”
Below is a list of the regular hall events with contact details. You can also find this on the Ardentinny Community Council web site.
That’s all for now
Mark Rowthorn (Chairman), Brian Hillesdon (Secretary), Helen West (Treasurer), Elsbeth Brint and Dee Robinson
