Loch Public Hall Trust Act 1966

a building known as the Loch Mechanics' Institute Hall is erected on land (being the land described in the First Schedule to the deed of trust a copy of which is set out in Schedule 1 to this Act) which was purchased in or about the year 1891 and registered in the names of certain persons who undertook to erect within twelve months a building thereon to be used as a Mechanics' Institute and Free Library;

the said land was in or about the year 1947 transferred to Patrick James Hayes William Charles Green and Percival Roy Bridger all of Loch who are now registered as the proprietors thereof and hold the land as trustees;

subsequently under a constitution purporting to be the constitution of a society known as the Loch Mechanics' Institute the said Percival Roy Bridger resigned as trustee and Albert James Ferrier of Loch was appointed to act in his place;

the said Loch Mechanics' Institute operating under the said constitution and rules of management conducted a public library and hall at the said building for the use of the people of Loch and district who were subscribers thereto and from the year 1948, the library having been discontinued and the said building being used as a public hall, for those people without payment of a membership fee:

at a public meeting held at Loch on the 11th day of September, 1945 it was resolved that a new memorial hall be built at Loch and for that purpose sums amounting to Eleven hundred and seventy-eight pounds were donated by various persons and a total sum of Eleven hundred and ninety-nine pounds was raised by public and other money-raising efforts;
