The Lochluichart Community Trust was set up to help and promote The Garve and District Community Council Area.
With promise of help to the young and old.
Some facts about the grants so far, and you can decide if we are getting value for your money.

Hi all, I see there has been a lot going on, the “Big meeting” for one, and as I am told one of the directors lost his decorum. I wonder how much it would cost to get his inborn temperament sorted, or send them all on an Anger Management course as it seems that even the chair is a bit short on decorum. Money well spent I think.
From the minutes I see that we can be trusted to have a view on a project that will cost almost £29,000, yet when one that costs £72,000 and at the moment does not confirm to the articles of the Company we don’t get to? You have to ask why? What are they hiding?

The Directors agreed that Members should be asked for their views before proceeding, as the project will cost almost £29,000,
The constitution for the Friends of Lochluichart Church has been received.  The Solicitor will be asked to examine the constitution and, with OSCR, look at the eligibility of the project for funding in the light of the questions raised at the recent Members meeting (21 May 2015). Is this not desperate or what?

Definition of desperate: Someone who wants something so bad they will go to extreme lengths to get it.

Due to the questions around the interpretation of the legal constraints on the LCT, it was agreed that the Solicitor should attend future meetings – this will be reviewed as over time.
So we have to now pay for a Solicitor to hold their hands at what cost?  I hope that we get a proper itemised account for all the costs that have been incurred by the Company and Directors. Let’s hope it’s better than the minutes that we get to see.
Question For you all; what has an irreligionist and an opulent person has in common? The Answer, add in comment box as I know how shy you all are.
Until the next time, keep the faith.

Friends of Spa Pavilion

Friends of Spa Pavilion applied for £550.  This is half the total amount needed to repair art display boards.  It was agreed to decline the application ? far more locals use it than play golf ?

Garve & Lochluichart SWRI

Garve & Lochluichart SWRI applied for £990 annually for the next 3 years to help promote the group, hiring buses, paying for guest speakers and Hall hire.  As both Jennifer Haslam and Jean Bailey are members of the Garve & Lochluichart SWRI, 

Received £ 990 one of payment 

Well to me this seems a  good way to spend OUR MONEY  10/10  i think that the ladies deserve a lot more ? What do you think?

Change to Article 41

Director elections – 2 Directors are due to stand down at the AGM in July.  As noted at the last Directors meeting, the election process is not clear in the articles.  It was suggested that additional Directors (perhaps a further 3 elected Directors) are needed to help with the workload and for input, especially in determining the funding applications.  However, this would mean a change to Article 41.  It was suggested an informal meeting be held with members to ask for their thoughts on this matter.  It would also give members an opportunity to raise suggestions they may have about the LCT.  Once a date is set, members would be informed by email/post.
So they want to change to Article 41 by the back door don't lent them. Call for formal meeting not a informal meeting

Well this one looks value for money ? NOT
The Fund is there to help Garve and District 
Not all that go to Strathpeffer  and district
How will it benefit Garve ?
A New car park ?
Picnic benches.?

We have all that, and a that brings in 
Drugs
Litter 
Youth in fast cars 
Drink problems
Noise 
And this all happens at the spots with car parking and picnic benches.

I see from the Facebook page a lot of support is from outside the community but little from inside ?
  • Conon Bridge
  • Muir of Ord
  • Contin..
  • Strathpeffer.   
So from the point of benefit i cant see much with this one 
Why does Contin not build it?, they are getting money from our wind farm and its more central to all that are behind it, go on let them throw away their share ?


For me its a 2/10 what about you  

On the benefit side maybe a local contractor will get the job of doing the ground works ?
As we have more than one in the Strathpeffer,Contin,Garve,Muir of Ord area
