AGM 2007/08 News letter

What has the Federation done so far?

We’ve helped a number of halls with successful bids to Awards for All, including Eskdalemuir (equipment), Moffat Water (disabled access), and Brydekirk (new kitchen).

We’ve helped our members gain discounts in annual running costs (e.g. fire extinguisher servicing).

We’ve helped two member halls to install internet access through Scottish Executive funding (Templand and Canonbie).

We’ve helped halls develop new sports activities from Annandale & Eskdale Leisure Trust, e.g. Easy Obics lessons at Eaglesfield.

We’ve helped members to run new activities for their community, e.g.

Moffat Water beginners’ IT class run by Community Learning & Development.

We’ve given members information and advice which helped secure water rate rebates (eg. Hightae and Eaglesfield) and increase rents from Active Schools bookings (eg.Boreland and Canonbie).
