The project will invite active contributions from local community groups and primary schools to understand the history of flax growing in Kilbirnie to produce linen. This will result in an understanding of local industry and how the land was a source of natural cloth which generated wealth through the textile industry. The funding will provide interactive sessions for each of the two primary schools in Kilbirnie, as well as materials to help pupils and the local community grow their own pot flax. The resulting plants will be used in demonstrations in community sessions at Kilbirnie Library. 

Funds requested: £400

Interactive sessions £200 for schools and £100 for community session. Materials £100, e.g. pots, compost.

We would like to create a safe, warm environment in the clubhouse, for members ,and their friends, (not necessarily members), to meet, especially those who no longer golf. We wish to provide a space where, particularly, those who feel isolated may visit for social interaction and activities. This facility will support mental health wellbeing and reduce loneliness for many. Following the easing of Covid restrictions, we kept the clubhouse open, in all weathers, as a meeting place. This is popular. To enhance our project we would like to purchase a tea and coffee making machine, digital radio and putting mats

Digital radio £200 Tea and coffee machine £500 Putting Mats £200
