The community group behind the purchase of the Church of Scotland’s Fountain Road Hall in Golspie says it expects to take ownership on Monday, February 1.
Development group Go Golspie bought the hall following a £147,900 award from the Scottish Land Fund. Members of the public also made funding pledges.
A post on the group’s Facebook page thanked everyone who had supported the project.
It read: “This is only the first step and now the work starts on making the hall a fantastic venue for a wide range of events.”
Go Golspie is now asking anyone interested in becoming part of a Fountain Road Hall management committee, to get in touch.
At Golspie Community Council’s December meeting, chairman Ian Sutherland, a Go Golspie board member, said the purchase was a “game changer” for the district.
Social media users also voiced their delight with Nikki Harrison describing it as the “best news ever”.
