As you may have read in recent editions of the newsletter, the Kemnay Village Hall Management Committee is currently investigating the process of taking the hall into community ownership via a Community Asset Transfer.  To investigate if this is feasible, we have enlisted the services of SKS Scotland ltd. to undertake a feasibility study.

The study they will be carrying will require community interaction.  There will be a community consultation which will consist of a questionnaire which will be available online and as paper copies.  We would like as many people to complete this as possible so that we can get an idea of what you want from your village hall.  To that end, we would like for local shops and businesses to carry copies of the forms so that you can pick one up during your day-to-day activities.

As part of the community consultation SKS Scotland Ltd have been provided with the details of community stakeholders.  These are the businesses who have a premises in the village, and community groups and organisations.  SKS will be in touch with these to engage them in dialogue about the community asset transfer.  If there are any sole trader or small limited company business run from homes who would be willing to participate in this consultation, please email kemnayhall@outlook.com and we will pass your details onto SKS Scotland Ltd.

We would like to reassure members of the community that the hall will not be closing if the Community Asset Transfer does not go forward, the hall committee is committed to keeping our space open, and available to the community.

Further information regarding the community consultation and questionnaire will be provided soon.

Yours,

The Kemnay Village Hall Management Committee
