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.
