SUCKLEY VILLAGE
HALL FORTHCOMING
EVENTS
LOTTERY AWARD FOR
VILLAGE HALL
One year ago, Suckley Village Hall was awarded £5000 by Awards For All, the “Big
Lottery Fund”. The Hall’s management committee then matched the award through
fund raising events. During 2008 a willing band of volunteers, supported by
professional tradesmen when required, have made significant improvements to the
Hall, which celebrated its centenary in November.
Emergency
lighting and signage have been completely renewed and upgraded to meet current
regulations. Electrics too have been replaced and improved to meet modern
standards.
A completely new kitchen has been installed, including new heating and oven with
wall tiles courtesy of Carol and Cecil Luton of C&C tiles, Malvern. Ladies and
Gents Toilets have also undergone a partial transformation with the introduction
of Hot Air Hand Driers, new Water Heaters and Soap Dispensers and in the Ladies
there is a vanity unit with worktop for baby changing.
Damp proofing treatment has been installed where required,
repainting is being progressively undertaken and, finally, a new storage
cupboard with a racking system to house tables and chairs has been built, giving
more space in the main Hall area.
This much improved facility is now safer, more hygienic and
more user friendly. There is the potential to cater for 50 to 80 people, which
we trust will attract people looking for a party or meeting venue.
Thank you, Big Lottery Fund, and thank you all, who, have
helped in so many ways.
Tom
Talbot, Chairman, Hill Trust/Suckley Village Hall Committee.

TABLE TOP SALE SEPTEMBER 20th
The Table Top Sale proved to be both a
success and a disappointment. It had all the ingredients for success, excellent
weather, sunshine and blue sky, lots of helpers, some good quality merchandise
at fair prices, and lots of variety with a little something to suit most peoples
taste. What it lacked, was the support from the people of Suckley, and that was
the great disappointment, following the publicity we gave to the event, we
expected better, However, those people who did turn up very much enjoyed their
visit, picked up a few bargains, had a nice cup of tea and a biscuit or scone
with jam and fresh cream. These people were also very generous, spending well
and bidding generously on the Silent Auction items.
It is to these people the committee extend their thanks for their support,
helping to raise over £300 for the Refurbishment Fund. We also thank all those
who very kindly donated items to sell, and the stall holders and helpers, for
without all their support there would have been no event.
