Thanks to everyone who contributed to the building of the Corbenic Community Barn, we were able to celebrate its opening with special guests to entertain us. The opening coincided with St Patrick’s Day, four years to the day when the big community consultation was held. Residents, day participants, volunteers and staff were canvassed for their input. The result of the consultation was that we should have a hall big enough to meet in, and that it should go on the farmyard area. It has been quite a journey, but today our new Day Service and Community Barm project reached completion.
Our special guests included Tricity Vogue, Taylor Strickland (Poet), John Mulholland (ECS), Chris Amer and Matt Tighe (Live Music Now Scotland), and Gavin and Judy (Taller Smaller Architects).
Thanks to all involved in making our Community Barn opening possible – our donors, fundraisers, architects, construction team and our guest entertainers.
Thank-you to James Millar for the photographs
