Village Hall Committee

VILLAGE HALL AGM REPORT 7th MARCH 1979 (Hallmark)

“The A.G.M. of the Village Hall was held on March 7^th, surprisingly with a smaller attendance than last year.   I say surprisingly, because with building work in progress at the hall I would have expected stimulated interest.  Those who did attend were welcomed by the Chairman, Randall Evans, who outlined the work already in progress on stage 1 on the hall renovation and extensions, to be completed by June, and the second stage, provided grants are available, to carry on from June, to be completed by the end of September or early October.

A jubilant Treasurer reported a record year with income from lettings, fund-raising and investment totalling over £4,000.

This Is the first edition where we welcome Mike Piercy as the new Editor of this great magazine. Let's all hope you enjoy the job Mike and I look forward to all your fresh ideas and your little tweaks here and there. If anyone has any questions or articles please contact Mike.

Unbelievably our "New" Hall celebrated its 10th anniversary of opening in October and to mark the occasion properly we will be holding a Celebration Evening. In with this issue of Hallmark there should be a flyer explaining all, if it is missing call me and | will explain and sell you some tickets – 01844 343113.

The date for your diary is Friday 4th December from 7:30, it would have been nearer October but the hall is fairly booked up right through. The evening promises to be a fun, relaxed event with lots of current hall users showing us displays of what you can expect from the various Clubs and societies who frequent our hall. The finale is a short video showing the transition from old to new. It shows parties in both halls and even the old hall being demolished and the new one built. We are of course planning refreshments and do hope you all can join us.

The new storage area is now decorated and the new cupboards will hopefully be fitted very soon!

The Youth Club is still going from strength to strength. They have a very busy programme of events to keep all the youngsters occupied as well as giving them the opportunity to meet up and just get together in a safe and happy place.

While on the subject of the Youth Club, my congratulations go to Joan Smith who recently received a community excellence award, I know Joan and) her team have put in lots of hard work and deserve the recognition - Well done!

The Village Hall continues to remain fairly busy with all the local organisations throughout the week. If you're looking for a new hobby you may well find that it's available right on your doorstep. Alternatively, if you would like to start a new group there are a few daytime slots still on offer.

Also, as you can imagine, in this trying economic time the "party season" bookings are still a little thin on the ground. So if you know anyone who is looking for a great venue, please let them know about us. If needed just point them in the direction of our website, www.laceygreen.com where they will find all the details they need, or call Karen on 01844 343113. Finally, | sincerely hope you all have a Merry Christmas and here's to a prosperous and happy new year for us all.
