You are invited to a 'townhall' type meeting on January 25th at 8pm in the Heritage Centre to discuss
establishing the ABCD Co Op.Association for Balrothery Community Development( ABCD Co Op ) which will be a business owned by the community through open membership based on the 7
principles of Cooperatives. It will be focused on developing the Balrothery ‘brand’ as a premium
Tourism/Heritage location and local art/craft supplier. By being a community owned and operated
brand, business stays local and profits stay in the village. ABCD Co-Op will facilitate the potential for
grant/funding applications from Rural Leader and other avenues.

If you support this proposal but can’t make this meeting, you can send
your name, email and text number to mrgaryrutherford@gmail.com to register your support in
advance.
I believe such a Co-Op is the best vehicle to drive a targeted campaign and bring about the
coordinated improvement of our village as an amenity for ourselves and our potential visitors.
