The founding stone of the Aboyne & Glen Tanar Memorial Hall was laid on 7th May 1921, making last year the official centenary day. However, now Covid restrictions have been lifted, we want to mark the hall’s 100th birthday and bring together our community with a day of celebration on Saturday 18th June. It will be a day where our local heritage society, schools, Trustees and community groups will tell the story of the hall, as once they were reading rooms, a cinema, jumble sales location etc. There will also be a cafe and a new local ceilidh band has been formed to entertain in the evening. We are are launching a fundraising campaign and seek community engagement on the future the community sees for the hall. If you would like to join in the planning or on the day please get in touch via the website www. victoryhallaboyne.com/centenary.html Below: Present and former Trustees alongside some centenary volunteers.
