Notice of a members’ meeting March 12
KKV Bohuslän has a precarious financial position. In principle, we can not afford to continue to have a manager hired. The board and secretariat are working to cut costs and find new funding, but we hope that the members also want to be involved. We have compiled a list of large and small tasks that needs doing, and where you might be able to help. To discuss the situation, the board hereby invites you to a membership meeting on KKV Bohuslän March 12, at 13-15.

Plans for the new building
This year we will begin construction of new accommodation studios of KKV Bohuslän. The demolition of the existing buildings is planned to start in early September and construction is planned for October to December 2017. Moving into the new building will take place in January 2018. This means that we will have a limited number of rooms during the period from September to December 2017. In principle, are then only five rooms available at KKV Bohuslän. We ask you who already know that you are going to work this time to book your rooms as soon as possible, so we are sure that we can offer overnight accommodation.
