We have seen with interest (and just a small amount of envy!) the new and improved village halls now owned and operated by our neighbouring villages of Elmley Castle and Little Comberton. So we have decided that it is time to bring our Village Hall into the 21^st Century as well.

Our village hall committee chairman, Colin Cummins, has planned an extensive renovation project for us which includes: re-roofing, including roof insulation, double glazing units for hall windows and complete new double glazed windows in kitchen, wall insulation, new heating with condensing boiler, a revised lighting scheme to cater for day activities and mood lighting for evening ‘do’s, new chairs, floor revamping and overall re-decoration.

None of this comes cheap of course; we need to raise circa £50,000 and Colin is now hard at work with Grant Applications to see if this can be achieved. We welcome the support of everyone around us and if you have a good idea for raising funds, please let us know as soon as possible! I can be contacted on: shelaghi@hotmail.com

In the meantime, our thanks go to everyone who uses the village hall at present – this enables our hall to support itself, whilst providing a useful function room for local villagers and activities.
