Library Refurbishment Complete

We are very pleased to report that the refurbishment works to the library roof, both inside and outside are now complete.  Here's a photograph taken from inside the library showing the smart paintwork, as well as the new roof lights that have brought in much new daylight.

All works are currently on schedule - keep a watch on this page to see the next piece of completed refurbishment soon.

Jane McCulloch

Further to our announcement last week regarding Jane joining us as Community Liaison and Marketing Officer, here is a photograph of her.

Jane has "hit the ground running" and will be making contact with community groups in the coming weeks.

TRUST WELCOMES NEW APPOINTMENT

The Trust is delighted to announce that it has appointed Jane McCulloch to the short term post of Community Liaison and Marketing Officer.  Jane's role, which has been established with support from Dumfries and Galloway LEADER and Dumfries and Galloway Council Area Committee funding is aimed at engaging with the Community in Moffat as to how we can encourage further use and development of the Town Hall.  Jane started with the Trust yesterday, 19th June, and her contract runs until the end of December.

Jane has lived in Moffat for nearly 30 years, and has a wide experience of working with the Community in Moffat.  She comes to us from the Royal Voluntary Service where she has worked as Project Manager.

Jane will be making contact with Groups and Individuals in and around Moffat over the next weeks and months.  Two of her first tasks will be to establish a User Group for the Hall, and to forward the plans for the refurbishment of the kitchen which is due to take place in August/September of this year.

“We are delighted to welcome Jane as a member of the Team at this exciting time as the Hall starts its life, refurbished, as a centre for the Community of Moffat.
