Over 60s Christmas Party” organised by Garve and District Community Council. £1,000

“Over 60s Christmas Party” organised by Garve and District Community Council. £1,000 was allocated to this event, which was successfully held in 2014.

I will give this one 10/10 You ?

Achnasheen and Strathvaich Gun Club Regeneration awarded £15.000

“Achnasheen and Strathvaich Gun Club Regeneration” proposed by the Gun Club. A sum of £15,000 was awarded to the club to acquire improved facilities.

Well this is local and if you shoot ? does nothing for me but it is not in Strathpeffer so it ticks the box's
I note, we don't know what the money was spent on? or has it been spent.

What criteria must be demonstrated?

Need :Demonstrate that there is a clear need for

the project.

Community Use Demonstrate the likely extent of community use

of the proposed project or facility.

Community Involvement Demonstrate that the project is already supported

by committed and resourceful individuals.

Value Demonstrate that the requested funding has

been carefully costed and represents value for

money. The budget should be realistic and quotes

sought from multiple sources.

But i will give it 7/10 as it is local and i am sure it will be open to all.

Kinlochluichart Church

“Kinlochluichart Church” – this project aimed to improve the toilet and catering facilities at the church, but at the time of the application there was insufficient detail to award funding.

What will not be funded?
Projects with the following characteristics will not be funded;
• Projects of no benefit to the areas defined above
• National or regional charities with no independent office in the Garve and District Community Council area
• Projects that are funded by the local authority or other statutory bodies
• Improvements to land that is not open to the general public
• Sponsorships
• Projects promoting political activities
• Religious groups
• Deficit or retrospective funding (i.e. for activities that have already taken place)
• Services or facilities which the Lochluichart Community Trust already supports
• Projects considered by the Lochluichart Community Trust (acting reasonably) to be adverse to its interest
in the wind farm.

So Kinlochluichart Church is part of a Religious group

So a big fat 0/10 for this ? what do you think is the church skint! or does it need our help?

Senior £ 285

Junior Category 1 £ 160

Junior Category 2 £ 50

So at first to get any benefit for our money we will have to fork out membership of any thing from £50 to £365.

Sorry this is just wrong do we get reduced fees for our £8000 ? what help and benefit is it to our area?

Now only three Directors could vote on this, as one is from Strathpeffer originally and the other two declared a interest as they were members of the club?
