Date: 31st October 2023 
Dear Clerk to The Licensing Board, 
The Creich Community Association object to the APPLICATION FOR VARIATION (MAJOR)
PREMISES - THE KEEL ROW, FIONNHORT, ISLE OF MULL, PA66 6BL TYPE - ON AND OFF SALES. 
Established as a charity on 13th June 1971, the Creich Community Association’s purpose is the
prevention or relief of poverty, advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science through the
rental from Argyll & Bute Council, and maintenance of Creich Community Hall by the appointed
Management Committee. 
Therefore Creich Community Hall operates as a not for profit organisation, with the Committee
dedicated to providing a flexible space for community use, with all profits reinvested and used in the
maintenance and running of this valuable resource for the local rural island community, which
includes the village of Fionnphort. The above application would have a serious impact on a key
primary funding stream which contributes significantly to the maintenance of and, where possible
improvement to, Creich Community Hall which is vital in ensuring that this community asset can
continue to function for future generations. 
The Creich Community Association therefore object to this application, as stated. 
Yours faithfully, 
The Creich Community Association
