At the AGM, Steve Poore was elected a Holding Trustee to replace Mavis Rogers, and we are also delighted to welcome a number of newcomers to the committee. As you can see, there are a number of new officers and we are particularly pleased that the new committee has a very good range of age, experience and interests. We are looking forward to working together in the next stages of the Hall’s development. You may have heard or read that the Hall has been awarded Hallmark 1 and Hallmark 2, a national scheme which recognises the high standards achieved by the Hall. We are very pleased to have received this award following all the improvements that have occurred with the Development Project. If you have any queries about the Hall, please contact any of the committee.
With the last newsletter, you received information about the Spring Fayre on Monday 30 May, the Hog Roast and Ferret Racing on Sunday 19 June, and the Arts and Crafts Exhibition from Saturday 30 July to Sunday 14 August. With this Newsletter comes further information about the English Country Fayre on 30 May, including an appeal for donations for the Fayre and an invitation to help if you have not yet volunteered. We are looking forward to what is always a lovely event and, of course, we are expecting good weather! Please do read the details about help that is needed and the advertisement about what is happening. We also have some posters for display around the area. If you could display one or know of a suitable location for one, please let one of us know and we should be very pleased to let you have one.
Tickets for the Hog Roast and Ferret racing on 19 June will be on sale at the Spring Fayre and full details will be circulated soon. We hope this will be an excellent occasion for everyone, including families. If you have been to ferret races before, you will know what fun they are. If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat. Before the day, you will be able to sponsor a ferret in one or more of the races and win a prize if it wins the race. On the day, you will have the chance to have a modest flutter on the ferrets and, hopefully, win some prizes! Of course, you will also have an excellent meal with meat from the freshly roasted pig – there will be a vegetarian alternative. To encourage families to come, we are keeping the price of tickets at a very modest level. Tickets, to include food, are £7 for adults and £3 for children under 12. There will be a bar selling a range of beers, wines and soft drinks. Please reserve the date and buy your tickets when they are available. If you would like to order them now, please ring Ian Stuart on 863396 and they will be reserved for you.
We do hope to see you at the various Hall events over the Spring and Summer. The Hall is also increasingly being used for various public and private functions. Do come to the hall when you can, and encourage your friends and family to come as well.
