Our community is in a beautiful area of rural Scotland, known as the vale of Strathmore, it is well known for its mineral rich soil and award winning spring water. These farms create a scattered community stretching for miles but the hamlets of Eassie, Nevay, Balkeerie, Charleston and Kirkinch have enjoyed a unique focal point since 1924 when the community was united by the opening of the, then Women’s Rural Institute, hall.
The Eassie primary school has used the hall for many years as a gym and it has been the venue for dozens of dances, classes, parties, WRI meetings, fund-raisers and coffee mornings. In short the hall has allowed the community to grow strong and thrive, but now the dated construction materials have eroded and our wonderful hall has reached the end of it’s life.
Our vibrant and resourceful community has done some impressive fundraising over the years and we are now left with only 26% to raise.
Time is of the essence as construction must be concluded and a completion certificate obtained by 31 December 2010 in order to qualify for all of our funding. It is essential that we meet the deadline as much depends on it, including the future viability of our school.
