The village hall charity
The village hall is a registered charity (number 305160). There is more at About the charity
Village Hall Revival Group (VHRG)
VHRG is an active group of supporters who had a vision of a major improvement project at the village hall and were prepared to organise fund raising events to help finance it. They came together in December 2024 as an informal group which has since morphed into a formal organisation called the Village Hall Revival Group. More details from Sharon Spicer sharonspicer1@sky.com and they have their own page at VHRG
What’s new at the village hall
The kitchen had a facelift in 2024 with new cooker, flooring and re-painting.
Also in 2024, fibre was installed providing hi speed broad band and a telephone line.
The hall is equipped with modern GOPAK tables, chairs and the kitchen has a good stock of crockery and cutlery available to hirers.
The last big redecoration throughout was completed in 2016 thanks to the good offices of the W.I. who not only provided materials and labour but also managed to preserve the curtains by having them cleaned and replacing the track! Well done, W.I., and many thanks.
