Hallmark August 2008. A Tribute to Alan Solman. By Tony Smart MBE - Past Chairman of the Village Hall Committee

I knew Alan both as a neighbour and a member of the Village Hall Committee. | always enjoyed meeting Alan and having a chat when we used to see each other whilst walking along Lower Road, as we shared many similar interests.

As a representative on the Village Hall Committee, Alan was very supportive. At the time of the re-build he was always around to offer help and very sound advice with both the fund raising and construction issues associated with the New Hall. His background knowledge and enthusiasm made him a pleasure to work with and he played a big part in helping with some of the more difficult decisions we had to make.

Alan always had the support of his family and son, Mike, helped us with a number of the electrical items and being like his father, knew both the theory and the practical aspects of the job.

Our sincere thanks Alan for everything you did.
