Village Hall/Outdoor Centre Summer combined event
Outdoor Centre & Ardentinny Beach.
The village hall has been liaising with the outdoor centre prior to the Christmas break, for those that are unaware the outdoor centre is celebrating its 50^th anniversary this year with this in mind we have decided to band together and run a large summer event over one day at the outdoor centre and on the beach area. More details for this will follow, however to make the event happen we do require a number of volunteers to help us coordinate and run certain parts of the day. If you would like to volunteer, then please email dee at ardentinnyvillagehall8@gmail.com .
