The First Post!

This post is hopefully the first of many and so welcome to our blog.
 
This blog has been established by the Moffat Town Hall Redevelopment Trust and follows the signing of our lease with Dumfries & Galloway Council to bring the Town Hall within community control and the related agreement by the Council and Historic Scotland to jointly fund a £600,000 refurbishment project for the building.  The Trust has worked for some years to get to this point and if anything the journey will become even more interesting going forward. 
 
Our Town Hall-Before The Refurb!
(yes-those are Budleia's growing out of the roof and the paint is peeling off our neo georgian portico, but.......... the building is still the heart of vibrant community activity in Moffat and soon it's appearance will reflect that value!)
 
While very much aimed at people who do use Moffat Town Hall, or who might use it in the future, this blog is very much intended to be a two way communication vehicle and suggestions/questions are welcome from the whole interweb.
 
The plan is to allow a wide audience to keep in touch with progress in building/maintenance work scheduled to begin in February 2013 and also to offer a one stop shop to see events scheduled to take place over the next weeks.
 
Hopefully many voices will contribute, so architects and others involved in the project will be encouraged to contribute as well as organisers of events.
