The magic of Millport was to the fore once more as the island hosted a special fundraiser which provided plenty of food for thought.

It was a fabulous night at the Garrison Cafe for The Great Cumbrae Bake Off.

Congratulations are due to the contestants and judges, especially the winner Linda Orr, and runner up John McKernan.

The event was a fundraiser for Millport Town Hall.

 

Watch video below:  

Judy Barbour, Kerryanne Newton, The Garrison Cafe, Millport Town Hall, Laura Marie Hills, Jennifer Sim, Gillian Barbour and Ross Newton were among those to make sure the night was a success.

Renovation works have been ongoing for more than a year at the former town hall, which was originally built in the 1870s, after grant funding was awarded from the Scottish Government and other organisations.

When completed, the historic building in Clifton Street will include a heritage centre, kitchen, men’s shed, community garden, main hall and three flats for letting to generate income.
