Kenmore Church - Public Meeting

Thursday 24 July, 7pm

Following the Church of Scotland's decision to sell the kirk, the Community Council will hold a public meeting on Thursday 24 July in Kenmore Church at 7pm.

Before considering a purchase of the church we wish to ask people in our community what they think; try to answer any questions; and to gauge practical support to convert the church into a functioning and flexible community space. The meeting will be start of a two-week consultation process.

 Reports and more detail here.

 

Telephone Box and New Capercaillie Trail

Kenmore's iconic telephone box has been restored to its original state and replaced in its usual spot next to the hotel. The box will be an information centre for visitors and locals. The occasion was also used to launch the new Capercaillie Trail, an initiative by Kenmore Primary School pupils to create a challenge to locate 10 capercaillie siugns in and around the area. Leaflets explaining the trail will be avilable in the telephone box. More info here. Thanks to Taymouth Cstle for its vital support for both projects.

 

A Successful Day at the Games

The Breadalbane Reading Room Management Committee were delighted to be invited once again by the Kenmore & District Sports Association to hold a Tombola at the Kenmore Highland Games on Wednesday 2nd July.

Thanks to the fantastic efforts of the volunteers who helped organise  the event, the many local businesses and members of our community for their generous donations, and to everyone at the Games who came to the Tombola to support us, we raised £1142.20.

Funds raised will help support our vital restorations at the Breadalbane Reading Room.

 

Kenmore & District in Bloom

As we look to re establish an ‘In Bloom’ group for the Kenmore District, an inaugural meeting will be held on Monday 7th July at 7.00pm at the Breadalbane Reading Room, Kenmore. The purpose of this meeting is to welcome members from across our community and give us the opportunity to decide what the core aims and objectives of Kenmore & District in Bloom should be. These might include activities, such as bulb planting, creating floral displays, such as pots, tubs, planters, window boxes, hanging baskets and to consider re wilding projects, that will not only enhance our community but encourage pollinators.

We already have a growing number of volunteers and welcome all offers of help for this exciting project.

Community Action Plan

We are developing a Community Action Plan for the Glenlyon and Loch Tay area covering both the Glenlyon and Kenmore and District Community Council's areas. The plan will set out our community's aspirations and identify projects and initiatives that will positively impact our area. The plan is being finalised and will be available soon. Find out more

Wednesday night is music night

Every Wednesday night is music night at the Breadalbane Reading Room. Organised by well known artists and musicians, Dougie and Hilary Law, twenty one musicians attended the inaugural session to enjoy their mutual love of music making in the warm ambience of the newly refurbished Reading Room.

We look forward to welcoming Dougie, Helen and all the music makers back to the Reading Room next Wednesday at 7-10pm.
