The
Village Hall Committee needs Help!
Oh Dear I can hear you say. Is
it folding? Well a definite No to that. What is needed
is a new Secretary – not only to take notes in fact not
necessarily to take notes at meetings, but someone with
a commercial background and used to organising! That's
all.
Bert our current Secretary is standing
down from the committee in October. He has been Secretary
for seven years, during which he has helped to sort out
the ownership of the Hall and its land, as well as working
with the Charity Commission to produce an up to date governing
document. It is has taken time and energy to do all this
and Bert says it was very satisfying in the end.
This is what we are looking for
now. We are about to start on a plan to refurbish the
Village Hall completely. It is one hundred years old,
and a bit. Many other Halls have gone through this change
by applying for grants from various places and this is
what we intend to do. We have also of course to start
fund raising for our own contribution to the refurbishment.
It is an ambitious programme, but not impossible It would
bring the Hall into the modern age. This also includes
disabled access from the car park, something which was
pointed out as necessary in the questionnaire sent out
about two years ago.
We have already got two Architects
coming to give us their opinions and plans for the building
in early September from which we will have to decide who
to choose and then get estimates of cost etc. from builders,
then grants to apply for. So you see that we need someone
who will be with us throughout this refurbishment, someone
with enthusiasm for the only Community Hall in the Village,
which is already well used, but could become more so.
