AGM

Due to the current Covid 19 restrictions, the directors of Eilean Eisdeal sought the advice of OSCR and were advised that we could postpone the AGM until the earliest date permissible. We are therefore postponing the annual AGM, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

It is our intention to send out notifications of an AGM as soon as possible as required by our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The draft minutes of the 2019 AGM is available in the 'Minutes' section and will require to be approved in due course.

The end of year accounts currently with our auditors will be made available here as soon as they are accepted by the auditors. They will also be forwarded to the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator as normal.

We look forward to seeing you at the AGM as soon as it can be arranged.

Stone Skimming Quarry Purchase

The Directors are delighted to be able to tell you all that after a protracted amount of time the purchase of the Stone Skimming quarry for the community has finally been concluded successfully.

We would like to thank the Scottish Land Fund for continuing to support the project and the National Lottery Community Fund. It has not been an easy process.

We would also like to thank directors past (who started out on this project) and present for all their support on this bumpy journey and to the members for their on going support.

Lock-down

In our island lock-down, thanks must go to Puffer for the Sunday treats, the ladies who knitted all the NHS dolls and sewed individual face-coverings, all the food-delivery volunteers, the ferry-men for going above and beyond, and the Thursday evening musicians.

Arts Programme 2020

To all our loyal supporters, friends and visitors.
It is with great regret, but given the current Covid 19 situation and in line with current Government instructions Eilean Eisdeal will be unable hold the publicised Arts Programme events in Easdale Island Hall for a minimum of the next three months, but possibly longer.

We will update you if the situation changes at all.

Trail West is scheduled to come at the beginning of October and we are hoping that this gig will go ahead, and be a celebration, but we will keep you posted. March 2020
