News from the village of Ardentinny, Argyll, Scotland.
At the Community Council’s inaugural meeting in December 2013 Argyll & Bute Council’s Governance Manager and Depute Returning Officer, Shirley McLeod, stated the need for Community Councils to have a complaints procedure and a community emergency plan. At the recent Ardentinny Community Council meeting ardentinny.org received a copy of the complaints procedure for publication (see here). A majority vote was taken not to put a copy on the village notice board.

Thought this would be of interest to Ardentinny residents.
Things I have picked up on.
Primrose Tearoom is still open and has an extension on the side.
No Ardentinny Centre
Glenfinnart House is still standing
Cottages have white gates
And the weather looks to be no different to nowadays…rain!
Thanks to Alastair for finding this little gem.
Beating 20 celebrity contestants for the Celebrity MasterChef trophy, Glenfinart Walled Garden patron, Sophie Thompson triumphed in the gruelling 6-week BBC contest.
Judge John Torode praised Sophie’s culinary creations for being “Original, exciting and daring”. Fellow judge Gregg Wallace said “Sophie’s food is very much like her, it’s original, it’s individual, it has a style, it’s different. She creates some absolute delights on a plate, they look like little stories to me; they just look amazing.”.
Sophie beat off other finalists Charley Boorman and Jodie Kidd.
Celebrity MasterChef is available on the BBC iPlayer until 25 July.
