The Jubilee Hall Committee has appointed architect, Jim Gardiner of the David Wilson Partnership to draw up plans for the Jubilee Hall improvement scheme. The Jubilee Hall Sub Committee invited seven architects for quotes, and short-listed three for an interview. Jim Gardiner of the David Wilson Partnership was outstanding in his presentation at interview with innovative ideas, common sense and importantly we all felt we could work well with him. He also has lots of experience in design for local community projects. The Jubilee Hall design should be with us in outline within the next eight weeks – watch this space!
Our many thanks to Cllr David Butt, Cllr David Luggar and Cllr Joe Tucker for supporting the Jubilee Hall Improvement Scheme - they have each kindly allocated £500 from their community budgets; a total of £1,500. This will be a great help towards the architect fees, which will cost in the region of £6k to take the scheme up to planning stage. The hall has already raised over £2k + the above £1.5k. We now need to start raising funds to make the improvement scheme a reality. It is expected that funding the building project will be through a combination of grants applications to several funders and community fundraising. If you have any fundraising ideas that you would like to put into action to help make our improved hall a reality, please let one of the Jubilee Hall Committee Members know or Julie on 830311 – we’d like to hear from you. Come and be part of it.
