New Amenity Hub opens at Bonaly Activity Centre

12 May 2024

Bonaly officially opened their new Amenity Hub which has toilets, showers, an accessible toilet and shower, drying room and dishwashing facilities, on 17th April 2024.

At an informal ceremony a small plaque was unveiled by Steve Gamble of the Bonaly Leadership Team and around 40 guests then had tea and cake in the Chalet.

At the opening, John Cannon, Regional Chair and Peter Casebow, Chair Bonaly Scout Centre noted that the new facility was only made possible by the hard work of many people and the funding received from the Regional Trustees and sportscotland Lottery funding.

In particular, the hard work and support of Steve Gamble, Simon Innes, Janet Taylor, Barry Johnston, Sue Timmins and the whole Bonaly Active Support Unit (ASU) team were acknowledged.

Mike Treanor, Volunteer Development Lead also noted the feedback from Scouts and leaders who have already used the facility has been fantastic and the new Amenity Hub along with Ken’s Den really does mean Bonaly Scout Centre has a positive future ahead.
