Bothy Build Update FEB 2019:

Since the Bothy Build re-visioning exercise in September 2018 we've been working away behind the scenes.
The updated Bridgend Bothy Build designs have been finalised and sent for Planning Permission and Building Warrant. 
The design has been simplified but also now includes a stage area at the front and ramp for disabled access. It's slightly larger and the placement of the windows has changed .
 
We are waiting to hear back for planning and warrant approval and on funding at the moment, and hope to hear by April 19.
 
In the meantime a Bothy working group is meeting on the second Monday of every month from 6-8pm to plan the project and start working on preparing the site. Please let us know if you're interested in finding out more or helping on this group.

We are looking for anyone interesting in building, fund-raising, promotional work, documentation, advice or support and assistance in any way. Get in touch via info@bridgendfarmhouse.org.uk if interested.
