How would you like to see your name in lights?
Well ok, maybe not in lights, but we could offer you the opportunity to be recorded in a Book of Recognition as a nice person who helped the memorial hall when it needed it.

The hall is in need of an amount of TLC (Tender Loving Care) to remain as a functioning unit. For the hall to remain functioning a number of tasks have been identified that need to be completed, some are urgent, some less so, some are just general maintenance but all need to be done.

We need helpers!!!
We need people to look at the list of tasks and say to themselves "I could do that" or "I would be interested in helping to do that" You don't have to be an expert (but if you are ---wonderful!) we need willing persons --- bodies--- just to help. Tea, coffee and chocolate biscuits will be found to the helpers.

We are looking to form teams of 3 or more people to take on a significant project. A lot of the work will be preparation work - working out just what needs to be done, the best way to do it and what materials need to be obtained; these are the points that are usually the most time consuming but can be done around a table in a local hostelry with a suitable beverage to aid in the planning. After the planning has been done then, usually, the actual work falls into place easily.

It is the shear quantity of the tasks that we have to manage that is the problem,  We are looking to use the hall and associated areas to hold functions such as wedding receptions, birthday parties and anniversary parties etc. and we have had interest in this, but we have major problems. The Bar looks what it is, something left over from the 70's would you not like to be part of the group of people who revamp the bar and make it into somewhere the parties who hire the hall could sit and have a nice drink in. The loos !!!!!!!! are, well,  indescribable, we would like to refurbish these to the same standard as the disabled loos are, again we do not want to spend too much on this project as we plan to extend these at a later date but we do have to make them more presentable in the short term.

Did you ever want to lay a patio in your garden? 
Have a free course and gain experience on an area beside the kitchen of the hall.

Your contribution might not be what you think, one of the tasks is to lay carpet in the bar, but we are poor, so the cost effective way of doing this might be to lay carpet tiles--- do you know of an office that is being refurbished, if the old carpet tiles are of a good quality, could we have those (we will arrange for them to be collected), even better could you persuade the boss to order a some extra tiles and donate them to us!! If you just thought of how you could do that, then why have you not phoned us to say that you are willing to try to help.

Please look at the list and if you can help in any way, then give us a call and put your name forward.

Thank You
