St Ninian's Hall, Isle of Whithorn Open day

On Saturday, there was an open day held at St Ninian's hall in the isle, showing off and promoting all the user groups that use the Hall.


Building Healthy Communities had display boards at the event as well as holding a short consultation with members of the public asking them what activities they would like at the hall.


The responses were quite varied from a computer club to Zumba. All results have been passed on to the hall committee.


It was a well attended event with many users displaying and promoting how they use the Hall.
