Do you have an interest in films and cinema?
Can you dedicate some time to organising a Film Club?
Using Campsie Memorial Hall’s fabulous new technology to show new and old, strange and wonderful films we can bring the cinematic experience to Lennoxtown!
Come along to the hall on Friday 23rd March at 7.30pm
to find out more.
Saturday 17th December marks the 1st Anniversary date of the hall’s first year of charitable trust ownership. Here’s a brief overview of what has been achieved so far…
We have: Secured £84,000 grant income, repaired heating, decorated the hall, installed insulation, repaired doors, improved disabled facilities (ongoing) and won the Jubilee Millions.
We host: The Fruit and Veg. Co-operative (every Saturday at 10am) and Forward Training – youth training scheme.
Phew! Not bad for year one. I wonder how many cakes from the home baking stalls have been eaten?!
If you’d like to help us celebrate we are having a festive evening on Saturday 17th December, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ will be showing (7.30 for 8pm, £5). We’ll make you merry happy with mulled wine and mince pies!
Thank you for your ongoing support – 2012 can only be bigger and better.
Volunteers are always welcome, if you can help in any way please get in touch.
This evening we hosted a short performance by Inspiration Theatre Group. They have been been meeting in the hall on Tuesday evenings since October. They work really hard in singing, drama and dance. Tonight they performed extracts from the hit musical Bugsy Malone.
Mums and Dads were invited along to see what had been achieved in a few weeks and everyone was delighted with how much progress had been made.
If you have a son or daughter who would like to learn to sing, act and dance then bring them along to the hall on a Tuesday evening. Classes will start again on 10 January.
Check out the Inspiration website for more info.
After our amazing success in the Jubilee People’s Millions we have been working hard to get everything in place.
First we had to take care all the paperwork with the Big Lottery Fund. We were unable to place any orders until all of the details were taken care of. As soon as this was done we placed the main order for the PA, lights and projection equipment.
With this confirmed our suppliers (D3 AV) were able to tell us that installation would take place during the first two full weeks in September (5-16 September). During this time the main hall will be completely out of use. All users have been notified and we apologise for this disruption to service however it will be worth it.
We have a band night scheduled for 14 October which will be a fitting way to christen the new system.
When we started on this adventure of running the hall we all had a list of ideas of things that we wanted to see happen in the hall. I don’t think the first East Dunbartonshire Chess Congress was on anybody’s list.
Well it happened over the last two days. About thirty chess enthusiasts from all over Scotland battled it out all playing five games over the two days.
Our congratulations to Daniel Rocks for organising the event which ran very smoothly.
We look forward to hosting this event again in the future and helping it to grow into a major event on the Scottish Chess calendar.
WE WON!!!!!!!
A massive thank you to all of you that voted. We couldn’t have done it without you. You were all brilliant.
Please thank everyone you asked to vote for us. I know lots of people far and near who were asked (or told) to vote for us – please let them know their votes counted.
This is a landmark event for Lennoxtown. It proves that we have a viable community here.
It proves that when we put our minds to something we can be successful. We can make a difference.
Let’s enjoy this moment while remembering that there is still work to be done. If you feel you can contribute to the running of the hall in any way please come forward. We still need your support.
This is only the beginning.
Campsie is on the move.
Thanks
Good morning everyone. Today is the day when Campsie Memorial Hall can make history.
Please phone this number: 0871 626 88 78 between 9am and midnight to help us win £60,000 of Lottery funding to turn the hall into a first class performance space with sound, lights and projection facilities.
