2. Main themes
Registered Charity No: SCO 23487
Support for all the positive things that are already happening in relation to the Hall and the sports pitch;
Support for providing a separate entrance for bunk room/s and making them self-contained so that bunkroom guests don’t impact on hall users and vice versa;
Support for exploring further the ideas of: community café; provision of more sociable and multi-use space; and developing the outdoor space.
Some caution advised in not over-stretching committee members and volunteers.

4. Bunkrooms – our thinking
Registered Charity No: SCO 23487
Use existing foot print but reconfigure to provide:
Separate entrance
1x 2 person bunkroom
1x 3 or 4 person bunkroom
Shared sitting area and kitchenette
Shared shower and toilet facilities
Why? Market changing – people looking for smaller units; booking patterns suggest average per room per night is 2/3 people (tbc)
When? Draw up plans over summer, complete work in the autumn

5. Outdoor space – our thinking

What do we tackle next?
Outdoor space?

Toilets and changing rooms?
Can any things be done in parallel?
