TOWN HALL KITCHEN BACK IN ACTION

Saturday 14^th September saw the use of the kitchen for the first big event (the British Legion Coffee Morning) since its refurbishment.  The volunteer ladies were able to enjoy the new units, with the range of stainless steel fittings and appliances. 

The kitchen refurbishment has been the Community’s top priority for refurbishment since the original consultation on the fate of the Town Hall back in 2006.  Thanks to funding support from Scottish Hydro Clyde Community Fund and Dumfries and Galloway LEADER Programme, the refurbishment has now been achieved.  Instock, a leading commercial kitchen supply company from Carlisle, together with a local joiner and electrician completed the refit in time for the coffee morning.  The new kitchen provides a much better working environment, and provides a greater range of facilities which can be used for catering during events

Peter Beck-Samuels, a Trust Board member, stated “It is great to see the kitchen refurbished at last, with up to date facilities and work surfaces.”
