LATEST NEWS

In the pipeline this next year is the re-design and upgrading of the ladies and gents toilet areas. We will start with the Ladies’ In December.

To get us off the ground we need to raise £5000 this year to match the £8000 we have applied for in grants. Please let a committee member know if you would like to make a donation towards the new chairs (from £72 each) or the Toilets refurbishment (from £195 for each close coupled WC, other fixtures or fittings are available). Being a charity, gift aid applies.

To get the fundraising off to a good start we have launched a “100 Club” which is a local lottery to raise funds for good causes. For just £2 per month or £24 for the year you can have your allocated number entered into the monthly draw and a chance to win at least £100 cash each month. It’s not too late to join! Contact Rosemarie Roberts or Ali Casey to sign up and help with our fundraising.

Kitchen

We have a new professional catering kitchen.

Main hall

Our hall has a lovely wooden dance floor. The size of the hall is 15.4m by 8.5m excluding the stage.

Stage

We have a large stage, measuring 28sm, with professional lighting and a hall capacity of 120 seats, with standing room too.

ACCESSIBILITY

The hall has step free access through the front doors and a wide access door into the main hall. There is a new fully accessible toilet next to the entrance door and further male and female toilets either side of the stage which have disabled facilities. There is a ramp to the decking area outside which overlooks the cricket ground and beautiful views over the Brede Valley.

We have very good acoustics in the hall together with a hearing loop.

Maintenance, repairs and improvements

We have carried out extensive refurbishment to the New Hall over the past few years. We have a professional kitchen, new double glazed windows, accessible front door, new curtains, new stage curtains, exterior and interior redecoration and improved insulation to the roof and most recently an upgrade of the cloakroom and addition of a new accessible toilet all of which combine to make the hall an enjoyable and beautiful space!
