Issue - meetings

Members gave consideration to an application from Mull of Kintyre Music and Arts Festival 2020 for funding to assist with the costs incurred in planning the festival in light of the Covid19 pandemic and subsequent cancellation of the event. This application had been deferred until the outcome of the groups application to the Council’s Strategic Events and Festivals Fund was known. The Trustees noted that the Council’s Business Continuity Committee had agreed, at the meeting held on 11^th June 2020, to award the group up to 75% of their original grant award for costs that had already been confirmed.

Decision

The Campbeltown Common Good Fund agreed to award the group up to £6,000 to cover the shortfall of costs incurred after confirmation of the amount to be awarded from the Council’s Strategic Events and Festivals Fund.
