Common Grazing: Roles, Responsibilities and Finances Part B – Pairc (Lewis)

Are you a Clerk, Treasurer, Common Grazing Committee member, or shareholder in a Common Grazing?

Join us for a friendly, practical two-part workshop designed to help you understand the responsibilities of running a Common Grazing, managing finances effectively, and ensuring fair and transparent decision-making for all shareholders.

Using a fictional Common Grazing as a case study, we’ll work through real-life scenarios that committees and shareholders regularly face. Together, we’ll explore good governance, financial management, shareholder responsibilities, and practical solutions to common challenges.

Whether you’re new to a committee role or have years of experience, you’ll leave with greater confidence in managing your Common Grazing and understanding what is expected of both committees and shareholders.

Topics we’ll explore

• Calculating fair maintenance contributions
• Dealing with absentee or inactive shareholders
• Sharing resumption income fairly
• Managing vacant shares
• Understanding maintenance versus improvement costs
• Roles and responsibilities of committee members

Guest speakers:

Daniel MacLean, Crofting Commission
Arthur MacDonald

Come along to share experiences, learn from others, and pick up practical tips to help make managing your Common Grazing easier and more effective.

There’s a lot to cover, so the workshop has been split into two parts – Part A and Part B. While each session can be attended independently, we encourage you to attend both to gain a full understanding of Common Grazing governance, finances and shareholder responsibilities. Don’t worry if you can only make one session, but you’ll get the greatest benefit from attending the complete programme.

Booking is essential.
