This fabulous building has been constructed by South Lanarkshire Council and has now been leased to the Lanimer Committee to be a new hub for all our Lanimer activity.
The building will also be a new home for a number of our Lanimer entrants to construct their fabulous Lanimer Lorries, as well as a space for other groups to work on community projects.
If you would like to see the new building, please pop along tomorrow for our opening ceremony and have a tour round.

Today saw the start of some of the official behind the scenes work that the Lanimer Committee does.
Our annual Lanimer Court photo session took place today. It was great to see our full 2025 Lanimer Court and all our Principals together in their outfits and looking fantastic.
It definitely makes Lanimers feel very real and very close (10 weeks!)
Well done to all our court members for their patience and understanding as we flung instructions at them.
Thanks again to Mark from Archibald Photography for his usual professionalism and banter!!
The Publicity & Brochure and Court Teams are now off for a well deserved lie down!
