An emergency general meeting will be held in Arbroath this month as the rescue bid to save famous fairways at a collapsed Angus resort hotel picks up pace.
The captain of Letham Grange Golf Club has revealed the club committee hope to gain acceptance for a plan that would see the two 18-hole courses the 6632-yard par-73 Old and the par-65 Glens quickly playing again.
The resort closed last month when Letham Grange directors Neil Rimmer and Paul Rodgers posted a notice on the hotel indicating legal difficulties over its operation.
Following what Mr Jackson said were “cordial and positive” discussions, the committee decided to consult with Letham Grange management, Angus Council, the Scottish Golf Union and potential sub-contractors to develop a business plan.
The business plan was presented to the committee at a meeting last week.MeetingAn emergency general meeting has now been scheduled to share details of the plan, fees and payment methods with members on Monday, March 14, at 7.30pm, at the Meadowbank Inn, Arbroath.
They are looking for all members to indicate their support for the proposal.
Letham Grange was at the centre of an ownership wrangle involving Taiwanese businessman Dong Guang (Peter) Liu, which is believed to have resurfaced.
Letham Grange Management Company Ltd was appointed to run the hotel following the outcome of the original liquidation proceedings against Mr Liu in February 2009 and hundreds of thousands of pounds were invested in a modernisation scheme.
Creditors have now approved the appointment of Melissa Jackson of The MacDonald Partnership plc (TMP) as liquidator over the management company.
She said efforts were continuing to complete the financial picture of the failed resort.
