VILLAGE HALL NEWS
If you’ve visited the hall recently, for example to attend an exercise class, social group or the excellent October Live & Local production: The Thankful Village, you may have noticed the new ceiling and lights. These were funded as part of a large grant received from East Staffordshire Borough Council Neighbourhood Development Fund. The grant also allowed us to resurface the stage and the steps beside it, possibly for the first time since 1960. No more splinters for barefoot dancers on stage! The third tranche of money is being spent in the conference room behind the stage to turn it into a modern setting for formal meetings. We have already upgraded the floor, lighting and heating and shortly will fit a new door to match the front doors of the hall, redecorate and install new blinds.
Did you know? We have had broadband in the hall for 18 months now: the password is in the hirer’s information in the lobby. Sadly we were not successful in our grant application to improve the outside areas of the hall – we’ll just keep chipping away at that and try again in 2019
.
Don’t forget to buy your 2019 Calendar - only £4.99 available from Marchington Village Shop! It’s less than one hundred days until 2019 .
.
We have dealt with what turned out to be many water leaks which had seen our water bills rise to astronomical levels and are trying to get some money back from South Staffs Water. If you’ve battled with a utility company you’ll know it’s not easy but we’ve got our top terrier, sorry Trustee, (Ginny) on the case.
We hope the hall will be busy over the Christmas and New Year season and wish all our users (i.e. everybody!) a very lovely time.
