Village Hall Upgrades
An update on the front of stage insulation which is now completed, just needs painting.
The Carpet bowls equipment is now stored to the right and the steps have been modified on the left, to slide under the stage when the badminton group is playing. We are sure they will be pleased that they no longer have to lift the steps on the stage!
Rob Dain, who has been doing the refurbishment for us, has also supplied a splash back for the cooker in the kitchen so as soon as we can get an electrician to wire up the new cooker, it will be good to go!
A little note for the smokers who use the hall.
A small ash tray has been placed by the front door for those going out of the hall to smoke.
Please use this rather than dropping cigarette ends on the ground outside the hall. It is hoped to add a larger box on the wall outside in the near future for this purpose also.
Please keep our village tidy.
Quiz Nights – Looking for Quizmasters
If anyone would like to run a quiz, please get in touch with the Hall Management Team
ardentinnyvillagehall8@gmail.com
Hall Cleaning Request
Also help would be greatly appreciated in the regular cleaning of the hall.
Usually on a Wednesday morning at 10am but this can be whenever suits you. A calendar is on the hall notice board please just add your name if able to help.
Many thanks Helen
