Garlieston Caravan Club Site Get to Know Garlieston This Is the Ideal Location for an Undemanding, Relaxing Holiday
Welcome to Garlieston Caravan Club Site Get to know Garlieston This is the ideal location for an undemanding, relaxing holiday. It is a peaceful site, divided into two areas, but because of its compact nature and the absence of a play area it may not be considered suitable for families with children. One section of the site overlooks the bay but has limited awning space, the other, is a more secluded and sheltered area with awning space for all pitches but lacks sea views. Garlieston village is a quiet spot geared to farming and leisure. Many of the attractive cottages in the crescents wrapped around the bay are holiday homes and pleasure craft now share the harbour with a few fishing boats. A good spot for fishing, boating, cycling and walking, the site offers adjacent access to a coastal path leading to Galloway House Gardens, with their famed azaleas and rhododendrons and a handkerchief tree, and to the sandy beach at Rigg Bay, where wartime Mulberry Harbours were tested, and on to the ruins of Cruggleton Castle.

Garlieston Village Hall Committee Trustees' Annual Report
Garlieston Village Hall Committee Trustees’ Annual Report April 2018 to May 2019 Charity contact information Garlieston Village Hall Committee Scottish Charity Number: SC048380 c/o Garlieston House, Garlieston DG8 8HF Charity Trustees Objectives and activities Our charity was established to manage, maintain and develop Garlieston Village Hall as a community resource. To that end we signed a two-year lease with Dumfries & Galloway Council (DGC) in April 2018. In support of our purpose we carry out three main types of activity: a) commercial letting; b) fundraising; and c) property management. Structure, governance and management During the period covered by this report -- the year of our formation -- our charity operated as a two-tier SCIO under an OSCR-approved constitution. It should be noted, however, that we serve a small community and have yet to achieve the required ‘critical mass’ for correct operation of a two-tier SCIO. It is likely, therefore, that our structure will be reviewed in future years. Achievements and performance Given that no members had experience of running a community facility, the early months of our existence were always going to be a learning experience. Uppermost in our minds was the need to develop quickly an income stream to ensure that: a) all running costs could be met; b) there would be surplus funds to enable us to carry out improvements to the hall; and c) there would be surplus funds to enable us to conduct charitable events for the benefit of local residents and visitors. A further aspiration was to investigate the possibility of mounting a permanent Mulberry Harbour Exhibition at the hall.
