The hall is a village facility that can easily be forgotten due to its position yet if it was no longer available it would very much be missed. It was once used for events such as wedding receptions and celebrations but times have changed and use of halls for such events seems no longer in fashion.
The village hall is struggling to make ends meet due to the decline in the number of bookings. It is obvious that one of the reasons for this is that the hall itself is in need of major refurbishment. We are in a catch 22 situation that without bookings the money will not be available to carry out the work required to make these improvements.
It is a shame that yet again a few have spoiled it for the majority where damage to the hall during a private hiring and regular vandalism has necessitated repairs at cost to the hall.
We would like to thank a group of residents who, on their own instigation, recently held a tea dance and raised around £300 as our first donation!
If anyone else is as passionate as these residents and the hall’s committee about keeping the hall functioning within the village, and not seeing it turn into another derelict area, then any form of help such as donations, offers from local builders, electrical companies, plumbers, etc towards maintaining the hall is welcomed.
Please help promote the hiring the hall, for private or society events, to friends and family to help us keep it going.
We are able to co-opt new trustees to the committee if you are interested, or you can just work with us to make things happen!
Join in and lets save it!!
