Fundraising is a very important part of our plans. To date we have raised £29,000 in the local community. We have made payments to our architects (Arch Henderson) and to the planning authority totalling £16,000. Now that the Big Lottery Fund and Highland Council have confirmed their awards it is important that we begin fundraising again.

There will be expenses associated with the project that are not covered by the grant making bodies and we will need funds in our kitty when the new hall is open next year. We will be organising a programme of events to take place during the coming months and seek your support. We will keep you informed of what is happening by posting details on this website.

The committee ran a very successful baking stall at the Dunnet Forest Trusts Open Day. This opportunity to fundraise locally was very welcome with the Mey Hall currently unfit for use. A total of £242.75 was raised. A big thankyou to everyone who donated baking for the stall.

Mey Village Hall Committee will be holding a Prize Bingo (in aid of the Village Hall Renovation Project) in the Castle Arms Hotel, Mey on Friday 27 October 2006 at 7.30pm.
