Pentlands Activity Camps (PAC) offers school holiday fun, adventure and activity for children in Primary school and up to S2 in High school. We are based in Peeblesshire in the beautiful Scottish Borders, near the village of West Linton, only 15 miles south of Edinburgh.

At our day camp each child participates in a wide range of activities, both outdoors and indoors, run by the . The emphasis is on having fun, excitement and new experiences in a healthy, positive and safe environment.

The ethos of PAC is to make each child feel unique and valued, with the age sensitive programme allowing the child to grow in self-confidence and social skills. Our venues have been specially selected for their rural locations and offer an extensive natural playground where children have the freedom to explore and play.

Established in 2005, PAC is organised and run by Lindsay Mann, Sally Card and Ian Reid. All are local residents who, between them, have over forty years professional experience of working with children in a variety of childcare settings.

This year's PAC camps will take place over 5 weeks and run on a day basis from Monday to Friday during the Easter and Summer holidays. The structured activity programme will run from 9 am to 5 pm - an "extra time" service is also available before and after these times.

CHANGES TO UTCE's GOVERNING RULES

As part of the preparation required for the second share launch, we have updated the model rules (provided by the Plunkett Foundation) which govern the society and how it operates. The new rules were adopted at an Extraordinary Members Meeting on 23 February 2023. The rules and minutes can be seen here (the new rules have now been approved by the Financial conduct Authority).

Plunkett Rules Version 4
UTCE Change to FYE Date records a change in our financial year end date.

THE SECOND SHARE OFFER IS NOW CLOSED

The issue raised over £32,000 from more than 150 applicants, many of them existing shareholders.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS FRIDAY 9TH JUNE 2023

Many readers will be aware that we have been working for some time to expand the village shop into the garden space behind the shop. This is a complex project that includes a second share issue, supported by Community Shares Scotland. The share issue is an important first step in a fund-raising campaign that will allow us to begin work on the extension later in 2023. We are already well on the way to altering the cottage annexed to the Village Hall, so that this space can serve as a temporary shop during the main building project.

LAUNCH EVENT

Members of the public and shareholders in UTCE Ltd will have an opportunity to inspect these building works at the launch of UTCE's 2nd Share Issue on Thursday 23 rd March at 7pm in the Small Village Hall and Cottage. Refreshments will be provided. The initial share issue in 2019 raised some £66,000 from 255 shareholders. This 2 nd share issue will raise further capital but also has a secondary objective, which is to demonstrate to our funders that the shop has the full support of the community. For that reason, we will be encouraging as many individual investors as possible: even if you buy only one share at £25, it will make a difference. Of course, we won't be discouraging to those who want to invest a lot more...

YOU CAN BUY SHARES NOW

You don't have to wait until Thursday. The share offer booklet is available to pick up now from Broughton Village Store - please read this carefully before filling in the application form which is on the last page of the booklet and also available as a separate sheet of paper. Forms and cheques (or cash) can be handed in at the counter in the shop. We cannot accept card payments, sorry. You can also do the whole process, or part of it, online. Download the booklet and application form using the links below and after filling out the form return it by email to the address provided ( shares@broughtonvillagestore.co.uk). Depending on your software you may be able to fill the form on screen, or if not you can print it and send a photograph. Payment can be made by BACS to the account specified on the form - please make sure you include a reference (preferably your name) so we know who the money has come from.

History and UTCE documents (for minutes of meetings scroll down) on this page

When the shop in Broughton closed on 15th March 2018 a group of locals got together, at the invitation of the Upper Tweed Community Council, to try and find a way of re-opening the shop as soon as possible. The Broughton Shop Development Group (BSDG) was formed soon after. Click here to download the BSDG Constitution

BSDG was a simple voluntary organisation which enabled the group to raise some initial funding and take on a consultant to help find the best way forward. We made the decision to try and buy the existing premises with help from the Scottish Land Fund, and to raise further funds with a Community Share Offer.

These strategies required the transfer of BSDG to a new organisation known as a Community Benefit Society, which is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (using rules devised by the Plunkett Foundation). Accordingly Upper Tweed Community Enterprise Ltd (UTCE) was registered on 21st December 2018 with the number 7979. UTCE is authorised to issue Community Shares with the help and expertise of Community Shares Scotland

In due course the BSDG committee became the board of UTCE. There are potentially six vacant positions on the board. Please come forward if you wish to help. The current UTCE Ltd board members are:

The original Broughton Shop Development Group has a register of about 250 members, who filled in the BSDG - Membership Application Form. This form is no longer in use. Original members of BSDG automatically became "supporters" of UTCE. In the future, those wishing to support the shop but without buying shares will also become "supporters" of UTCE. This will effectively become a mailing list for the shop so that the management can keep everyone informed of opening hours, offers, and events.

Upper Tweed Community Enterprise Ltd (UTCE) is a Community Benefit Society whose members are its shareholders. Each shareholder member has one vote, irrespective of holding. There are currently over 250 shareholders holding share capital of around £66,000.

The first share offer has now officially closed and all share certificates have been issued. We are now working on our second share issue, see the home page https://broughtonvillagestore.co.uk/

As promised, here is an update with regard to the launch of our new Club and Community gym and arrangements for you to 'come, see and explore'

After a busy 6 months in construction, our new Club and Community gym will open for business on 15th July. This fantastic facility, constructed from start to finish in 6 months, has been funded by Biggar RFC members, the Clyde Wind Farm Fund and SSE through the Clyde Wind Farm Extension fund.

Without this support the project would not have been possible.

The new gym will be open to members from 6am through to 10pm daily and will provide a benefit not only to the club but also to the wider community. It is fully accessible and includes:

a Strength & Conditioning suite,

a Cardio suite,

a large exercise room,

changing rooms,

showers and toilets.

See below for pictures.

Following on from last months AGM, memberships fees have now been finalised and can be viewed by following this link
https://cdn2.me-qr.com/pdf/bfe5eb35-5f43-49d4-91ff-6205b5c34295.pdf

https://forms.gle/qaHZW1Jk3qPfT9pp9
To establish accurate records and to ensure we have your most up-to-date details, ALL current BRFC members must complete a new Rugby Club membership form. This applies to a spouse/partner as well - each individual (old or new) must complete a form so that they can be issued with the correct membership Card.

If you are keen to see what is on offer, we are hosting Open Days this weekend

All members will also need to attend an Induction session prior to using the equipment.

Even if you have no intention of using the gym, it would still be great to see you down at the club to view what the funding has enabled us to achieve.
