The RDCA's 2018 AGM was held last Friday 5th October. In a change from the usual arrangements, it was held earlier in the evening, and on a Friday, and in the restaurant of McCuaig's Bar instead of the Hall, and attendees were offered a full hot meal, with the result that we had a much larger turnout than normal, with over seventy island residents attending.

Geraldine Anslow has decided to withdraw from the election to the RDCA Committee. This means there are now just four candidates for the four vacancies, and so there is no need for an election.

The four are: Michael Cecil, Stewart Geddes, Ciaran McCurdy and Fergus McFaul.

The AGM will be held this Friday 5th October at 6.00pm in McCuaig’s Bar, followed immediately by information on the “Grugach’s Gold” Manor House community profit process.

The RDCA, after experimenting with a satellite service from Avonline, has now gone with a phoneline business service from PlusNet for the Richard Branson Centre. This service is working well so far, with download speeds of 55.91 Mb/s and upload speeds of 8.31 Mb/s being recorded.

We have been told by BT, after a long period of trying to get services ourselves, and of trying to get information from them, that they are not currently planning on providing high speed services to business accounts on Rathlin.
