Members of the Village Hall Trust made their first site inspection of the new village hall on Wednesday 18th March. Progress is slow but steady and it was possible to see the size of the various rooms and storage places. The interior of the hall is undergoing wiring and pipework installation and the main hall is plastered. We are still no nearer to obtaining a firm handover date but we remain hopeful that this will be around June. Obviously, we will publish the date as soon as the builders confirm it and we will also publish our final plans for the opening ceremony.
In the meantime, our outline plans for the opening day are based upon a ‘country village’ theme and we invite you to submit your ideas to us for consideration. We are interested in hearing from individuals and groups who can perform some type of entertainment feature or demonstrate craft skills, art, face painting or any activity suitable for a general audience including children. We intend to invite Stanton-under-Bardon village school to arrange for their pupils be involved in an activity of their choice and we hope to provide a range of amusements throughout the day and evening. Food will be available including, we hope, a hog roast. We shall certainly require helpers to carry out various duties at the event so, if you would be prepared to lend a hand, if only for an hour or so, please contact us!
THIS IS YOUR HALL! PLEASE BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT FROM THE START!
