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.

Following an award to Kintyre Amenity Trust from the Campbeltown Common Good Fund on 3^rd June 2020 for the installation of interpretation boards at various locations in Campbeltown, it was brought to Members attention that the project description within the application contained some errors. The Campbeltown Common Good Fund gave consideration to an updated application from Kintyre Amenity Trust for funding to improve interpretation boards and exhibits within Kintyre Heritage Centre.

Decision

The Campbeltown Common Good Fund agreed to uphold the decision to award Kintyre Amenity Trust £1,000 on the basis of the updated application.

There was no other competent business discussed. 

The next meeting of the Campbeltown Common Good Fund is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, 2 September 2020. 

The next meeting of the Campbeltown Common Good Fund will take place on Wednesday, 2 September 2020 within the Council Chambers, Kilmory or via Skype for Business, subject to confirmation at a later date.
