Geocache Description:


Congrats to monkeydestructor (or rather Mrs. MD) for the FTF!

Probably an ill-advised endeavour to hide my first cache with so few finds under my belt (19 officially as of the day of hiding this one), but hey-ho, here we are!

For my first hide, I begin my tour of the mildly interesting and bring all of you to the Community Central Hall. 

The history

Community Central Hall was built in 1924 as the Central Methodist Hall by public subscription the 22,000 square feet building, with “C” Grade Listing, was even then seen as an anchor in the community, place for “social intercourse” (Lady Gilmore, 1924, Opening Speech).

Reid Hall

 

The Church was refurbished in 1966, and latterly hosted the World summit of the Methodist Church.  With rising costs and falling congregation it was briefly reformed into a training venue, but in 1976 the decision was made to close.  By this stage the building was well used by a large variety of community and self-help voluntary groups.  Together they formed an action committee and successfully persuaded the Strathclyde Regional Council to buy the building for community use.  In 1977 CCH was formed and have operated the facility as a community managed centre ever since.

The cache

Cache is a magnetic nano and is within eyeshot of the Community Central Hall. It is not hidden in private property.
