As you might be aware the Trust purchased Errogie Church just before Christmas. At the Trust’s Board meeting this month we were given the go ahead to start planning the restoration and conversion of the building into a community centre. The next step is to decide what we would like to use the building for and instruct the Trust’s architect to draw up plans.

We are putting together a steering group drawn from the community (Errogie, Inverfarigaig, Duhallow, Torness etc.) and the first meeting is this coming Thursday – February 4th.

In light of the lock-down restrictions, the meeting will be via Zoom at 19:30. If you would like to join in, the link is:

Meeting ID: 891 2770 3931
Passcode: 322059 Not everybody can (or likes to) use Zoom – so if you simply want to keep in touch with developments please tell us. We will move to face-to-face meetings as soon as possible.

Please email Lorraine and I, saying whether you would like to join the meeting or keep in touch with the project via email. (If you have already accepted the meeting invite – ignore this!)

Look forward to seeing you on Thursday – and pass this invitation onto anyone who you think would like to attend.

Kind Regards,

Gareth & Lorraine.
