We held our AGM in January, and said said we would share the preliminary design plans for the Gaeltec Buildings with everyone, so we can take feedback and suggestions to inform the final design (if the purchase is secured!)

We’ll be in Dunvegan Hall on the 17th of February 1pm-3pm to share the preliminary designs and discuss the individual facilities in more depth. 

We’ll have a stations dedicated to the following:

• the Community Gym- come along and make suggestions about equipment, the size/scale of the proposed space, the proposed membership set up, etc.
• the Childcare facility aspect- by far the most challenging to achieve, but we are committed to trying to find an imaginative model to try to overcome the barriers to setting up rural childcare facilities (of which there are many!) Please come along if you would use childcare if it was available and definitely if you are interested in helping set up such a facility. The Dunvegan Community Trust committee doesn’t have the capacity to run a childcare facility itself, but we are looking at other models in rural areas that work – and we can talk about these on the day. 
• Men’s Shed, repair shop, tools library and Arts and Craft Workshop space – We’ve had so many great suggestions for equipment and activities, please come along and talk about the plans in person and meet like-minded folk who are keen to see this happen.
• Commercial Space/Office Rental/Shared Workspace – If you would like to rent office space, or if you are keen to get out of the home office cupboard/kitchen/bedroom please come along and feedback, express a formal interest and look at the plans.
• A general overview of the physical plans, layout and renovations
