LITTLE WEIGHTON
VILLAGE HALL DEVELOPMENTS
The plans for refurbishment are
out as well as the questionnaires and all of you seem
to like the plans and are enthusiastic that we are prepared
to use them.
We will soon have an Entertainment
Licence, our application has been accepted and the blue
notices are up around the Hall. An advertisement in the
Beverley Guardian completes what we have to do. As long
as there have been no negative complaints, by April it
will be in place.
Tickets are on sale for the Thriftipig
Folk Band on 11th March and very soon the tickets for
Richard Fuller's talk and slide of his photos of wildlife
around Givendale (8th April) will soon follow. If you
have never seen his photos you are in for a treat. The
Hall will hold 90 people and we are hoping to fill it.
Tickets for both events will be
sold at the door. There are plenty of posters around the
Village to remind you, we hope. If you wish to get them
earlier please phone either 844171 or 844461 and we will
arrange to deliver them to you.
The questionnaires are coming in
quite quickly. First, not enough under 18's and very few
of the 19-40 age group are filling in the forms, perhaps
because it had already been filled in by older members
of the family! Again phone either 844171 or 844461 and
we will arrange to send you some. We do need more to do
it – even if the closing date for the draw has gone, we
would still be delighted to get some more ideas from the
younger villagers as to what they would like to see being
organised in the Hall. Please bear in mind though that
all these ideas need people to run them and a committee
of eight Village Hall Trustees is not enough.
For the fund-raising: volunteers
please come forward! Please arrange some programmes. Coffee
mornings, Strawberry teas, Walkathons, Bikathons, Marathons!
Anything. We need to raise £7000, of which we have,
mainly thanks to Pat Davison's calendars, raised £1000.
We have to do this in order to prove commitment by the
village to helping as much as possible in the refurbishment,
before we can apply for any grants. The sum total for
the refurbishment and the disabled access etc comes to
£217,900 with another £28,327 needed to pay
the professional fees of an Architect, Health & Safety
Officer, Structural Engineer and Quantity Surveyor. A
great many Halls have gone through this process and we
can too, with a little help from everyone. Unfortunately
the longer we leave it the more expensive it will get
as costs continue to rise, never fall.
The plans and all other information
are in the Hall to be viewed when it is open. We hope
though that this may have helped to answer some questions.
