The kitchen over the years!
The original kitchen was very basic and was refurbished in 2000 with a Lottery grant and some funding from IPC overseen by Christine Hand (IPC Chair) & Janet Slater
The most recent refurbishment took place this august/sept using money from the S106 funds received from the Chalk Meadows development ; this was one of the final projects in the overall hall refurbishment that began in Jan 2024 . In that time the hall has had new heating/aircon, lighting, flooring, redecoration, a mini kitchen in the small hall, updated toilets and new fire doors . So a new kitchen was the final improvement.
I hope hall users will enjoy the new kitchen and appreciate it for many years to come 👍

Hello , autumn is upon us, with the misty mornings, cobwebs and darker evenings. The air con has been switched off and the heating is now programmed, should you need it.

It is a quietish week, this week…
There will be no ballet this week (or next) as Lisa is away, sorry!
Monday badminton is back between 1-4pm, if you are interested, come along or contact Gill ([email protected])
The youth group is in on friday so be sure to spread the word to any young people (10-16) who might be interested, it is free and runs every fortnight between 5-6.30pm

We have a very smart new noticeboard outside the hall, it is locked, so please collect the keys from the hall, or call for details (07870187941). This is for your posters advertising events, services etc. There is also a noticeboard for hall matters, you can find info about the hall, what’s on and prices etc. I hope you will find the paving slabs a welcome addition for easier access.

The Drop in cafe in October will focus on Dyslexia (this affects 10% of the population, young and old) so we will have an information display and experts will be on hand to discuss the matter. As usual, everyone is welcome to come and enjoy delicious cakes, tea & coffee , so please spread the word and please bring cash on the day. Wednesday 21st between 2-4pm .

Ali is back at the Hall with her unique exercise class on wednesday , she caters for all abilities focusing on mind and body so you come away having enjoyed a complete workout, please contact her directly for further info and to book your place. ([email protected])

The final ‘snagging’ of the new kitchen should be completed by the end of the weekend 🤞, yes it does seem to be taking a long time! Full pics of the new look kitchen will be published soon.

Did you know the Main hall and small hall can be hired on an hourly basis (£14)? (its great for dance practice, indoor sports ,craft activities and meetings); we also have tables and chairs that can be hired to cater for larger gatherings. Do get in touch.

The hall is now on Instagram , please have a look and follow us!

We now have some limited availability for new regular activities, if you have ideas, do get in touch . It is always nice to discuss new plans and hopefully we can find a mutually satisfactory time to bring something helpful/sociable/enjoyable to the Hall. 😊
