In 2018, a small group of enthusiastic individuals began the process of re-establishing interest and gaining control of the charity. By 2021, the charity was active and had undergone a constitutional modernisation. The purpose of the charity was now to provide and maintain a village centre for the use of the inhabitants of Rosneath, Clynder and surrounding areas.
In 2021, the hard work began to take control of the Princess Louise Hall. This proved problematic as ownership couldn’t be established. The adjacent sports pavilion, however, was in Council ownership. Although somewhat in need of modernisation, the charity placed an expression of interest in acquiring the building under a peppercorn lease.
Fast forward to 2026: due to the efforts of an ever-changing committee, the Sports Pavilion has been made wind and watertight; it has been completely rewired, replumbed with new compliant toilet facilities, and internally restructured to provide a catering kitchen, small meeting rooms and a larger group space.
The next steps for this charity are to engage with our community to bring this facility into full use while still pursuing the ambition to restore the old Princess Louise Hall.
