Village Hall – Design update from CSY
Our village hall architects, Camerons Strachan Yuill (CSY) joined us after the OCA and OCA SCIO AGMs today, to present an update on the design of our new hall. They spent a full hour taking us from the basic design that was selected by the community last year, through several points of detail that OCA and CSY have developed, based on community feedback, such and storage space and WC facilities.
Neil and Douglas finished the presentation by unveiling a 1:100 scale physical model of the hall!
If you did not make the meeting, (or if you did, but would like a closer look!) you can view the whole presentation slide set PDF at your own pace.
Alternatively, to get (almost!) the full presentation experience, you can view the slides as videos with the full audio commentary from Neil and Douglas: CSY slides and audio, part 1 / CSY slides and audio, part 2.
Finally, the scale model will stay on view in the hall for you to view whenever you might be passing!
Any feedback or questions are more than welcome. Please email info@oldhamstocks.org.uk.

OCA and OCA SCIO AGMs
Hello Oldhamstocks community!
The AGMs for both OCA and OCA SCIO will be held in the village hall on Sunday 29th January, from 2 to 4pm. As usual, everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend! Please view the official AGM notice and agenda here.
OCA is in the process of transitioning to OCA SCIO, so both AGMs take place at the same event but are technically separate. Every year, both committees officially stand down and are elected for the coming year. Anyone in the community may stand to be elected, and anyone may vote, as long as…
- You live within the official community area or are a historical friend of the community
- You are aged 16 or over
To vote in OCA SCIO, there is one further requirement:
- You must be registered with OCA SCIO as a voting member
Membership is per person, not per household. To register to vote, please fill in this membership form. This will sign you up until you request to remove your membership. Paper copies will be available at the AGMs. The form contains a link to our data protection policies.
You are welcome to attend even if you are not voting. If you would like to raise a point under Any Other Business, please email info@oldhamstocks.org.uk at least 7 days in advance.
Hope to see you all there!
