BALLYHOUGH CENTRE.

In April the centre was officially opened by Lord Bruce-Gardyne accompanied by Lady Harris and Douglas Hutchinson (a trustee of the Rank Foundation,) who arrived by helicopter shortly before the proceedings were due to start; there was also a delegation from the Presbytery of Lorn and Mull.

Islanders including all the school children had been invited to attend the event, and they heard Major Bristol in his opening speech explain why it had been necessary to develop this centre for the training and selection of Project volunteers, how the work had been funded, and their plans for its future development.
