Good news today for the Maryculter Hall Users Association and the Portlethen Men’s Shed at Aberdeenshire Council’s Kincardine and Mearns Area Committee. We agreed to give both them grants.
The association applied for £500 to help fund a barrier to ensure the security of the football pitch beside the Corbie Hall. That’s half the cost.
The men’s shed requested £8000 towards the £29,361 cost of joinery, electrical, plumbing and heating work, as well as painting and decorating,and alarm system and a fire barrier system.
Three members of the men’s shed brought councillors up to date with the project, and their enthusiasm was obvious. And they confirmed that membership is open to men and women.
Both grants were approved unanimously by councillors.
