Some of you may remember having our 2014 AGM here, it is currently in danger of being sold off to a commercial enterprise which will all but completely close it to the public.

 

There is a petition to try and stop this.

The site has lots of listed buildings (nearly all of them in fact), even the pool they used to test RDX that they developed for Barns Wallace is listed. They have lots of interesting fauna and flora including a 'heronry' badgers, deer, owls the lot. SSSI status and place of special historic interest listing. All this seems to mean very little when big money is involved !!!

Public forum meeting was tonight, it was at best somewhat fascicle but the petition (700 signatures at the time) was handed to the Chair.

 

This fight is going to be ongoing for some time so we still need people to sign the petition as we will have more opportunity's to submit it.

 

We are working on a counter proposal, so if anyone has any suggestions or knows of any organizations/society's/companies that might be interested in using the site please let me know.
