Metheringham Village Hall Update Autumn 2011

- still your year round local venue for leisure, business and pleasure.

Please note we now have a specific phone number for village hall bookings and related queries. It is 0757 0065 994. If you leave your details the hall bookings officer will call you back. Following on from our last report please remember that we are looking for someone to take over looking after the village hall accounts next year.

Anyone wanting to get more involved in the running of their village hall in a less specific way is also welcome to join the committee.

The building work has now been signed off by the inspector and the pre-school children are enjoying using the outside area. We recently had our annual maintenance week at the hall and were able to attend to various little niggles. The hall should not only be looking as clean as usual but working immaculately as we move into the autumn. We are very lucky to have one of the best equipped community venues in the area and we hope that all hirers appreciate the need to clear up and leave the hall as they found it.

It is lovely to have good news in the form of a new regular booking for the hall with the arrival of Zumba. The dance exercise classes have quickly expanded from one to two sessions a week and must provide enough heat to reduce the need for switching on the boilers for the whole evening!!

Fundraising is a continuous part of running the hall as we have ongoing expenses that are not covered by the lettings income.
Dates coming up for your diaries are the 50:50 Sale on 24 September, the Band Concert on 14 October, the Fayre and Feast on 22 October and our Christmas Party on 16 December.

Please look at the local press, village notice-boards and the MACLA website news for further information closer to the events.
