Following the recent postponement of our AGM due to illness, we are now pleased to give you the new date, and invite you to attend:

As always, we aim to keep it short and sweet, so there is plenty of time for discussion following the business of the evening. But we do have some work to do, and we need members to attend to allow us to make some minor amendments to our Constitution this year. The proposed amendments are as follows: Clause 11.1 (new addition), Clause 14 (removal), Clause 54.1 (new addition). You can see them in the full document here:

You can see the Agenda for the AGM here:

Members are strongly encouraged to come along on the evening to vote in our Board of Trustees and approve our proposed Constitution amendments.

Everyone else is warmly invited to just come along for a chat and find out what we do. Membership forms will be available on the night for anyone wishing to join!

The Glencairn Local Place Plan is being launched today, at the start of the statutory 28-day consultation period. It has been drafted by a Steering Group of local people, led by Glencairn Community Council and supported by Moniaive Initiative. It aims to recognise both the challenges to, and the aspirations of, our community. Once adopted, the document will sit formally within the Council’s planning system, and the contents will be recognised as a ‘material consideration’ which has to be taken into account when planning decisions are made.

You can read the document online (below) and will also be able to access paper copies at the Repair Cafe today (Saturday 1st November 2025, 10am-1pm, Glencairn Memorial Institute) and thereafter at The Hive and Watsons Grocery Store.

Two consultation events will follow shortly, where you will be able to discuss and comment on the contents of the plan.

We will also accept written comments and queries:

Paper comments can be submitted in a sealed envelope (marked “LPP”) to the Hive

Digital comments can be submitted to moniaiveinitiative@gmail.com

If you require a response to your comments / queries, please ensure you provide contact details.
