On the 1st of July "an talla" opened its doors for the first time, and community of Tiree gave a sigh of relief. We had been without a hall for 3 or 4 years. while we waited for the building of the new hall, the old one having been demolished to facilitate the whole process of obtaining the new one, especially any financial assistance.
We now have a beautiful,very up to date (state of the art)hall - the future looks bright! : ceilidhs, dances, concerts and meetings, you name it! An ailing community will be on the move again! The efforts of many are to be considered and appreciated.
And finally,and many are delighted, a wind turbine provides the electric power; granted not as formidible as those mentioned in the blogs, but completely effective - the second on the island.
But before closing, may I also mention the new mart;opened last year; so that between it and "an talla" our hopes have been raised considerably.
My thanks to Blog Blog for touching on this subject first.

Island Wanderer,
Excellent news about An Talla….. and the use of a windmill. Every building should be to this standard. I am even building a windmill to assist my home energy needs. But Island Wanderer, why do you exaggerate the truth, again? You say the windmill will ‘provide the electric power’... ‘completely effective’. It’s not providing the electric power and it is not ‘completely effective’. The An Talla web site will enlighten you… ‘Utilise wind turbine to harness the wind power on the island to assist with heating and hot water demand.’ ... The operative word being ASSIST... and then only the HOT WATER. You are obviously rather confused over the whole issue of windmills and windfarms. Perhaps it’s time to read some of the comments on your earlier bloggs.
