Hello friends.

This is the first newsletter from the new Village Hall Committee that many of you helped to elect last Monday evening.  Thank you for your support and confidence.

We have already had our first full meeting and agreed that we need your help in deciding how best to proceed.  We have lots of ideas but it's your Village Hall so we need to know what you think.  The Village Hall is held in Trust for you.

Within the next few days you will receive a questionnaire asking for your ideas.  How would you want the Village Hall to be used?

And yes, we know it needs a lot of work.  In recent months, and under the old committee, some of this has been started.  You will have noticed a new roof, disabled access and there have been improvements to the toilets and kitchen, but there is much, much more to be done.

Not least the heating!  We know how cold and unwelcoming it can be in the winter.  Imagine, however, that it's warm and cosy, nicely decorated - a real home from home!

We're currently looking at ways of funding the necessary building work to make the Hall into an attractive venue, a real community centre.

We'll keep in touch with you via the notice board outside the Hall and via this blog.  We see this as a joint effort.  We need your continuing support if the Village Hall is to thrive.  Without that support it may fall into further disrepair and disuse.

If you would like to help please get in touch.  We have an email address cridlingstubbsvillagehall@gmail.com or you can contact any one of the committee members direct.  There's a list on the Village Hall notice board.  There'll be many opportunities to get involved with future events planned.

With very best wishes
The Village Hall Committee
