The North Cheriton Village Hall is being renovated The first stage sees the opening up of the roof space by removal of the false ceiling, adding up-to-date insulation to the pine clad roof and the repainting of the main area in attractive, heritage colours.
This stage of the work will be finished quite soon and the committee is planning a Gala re-Opening with a Quiz and Curry evening on Saturday, 5th October. All are welcome.
Further dates for your diary include a Film Night Supper on Saturday, 2nd November, the Christmas Craft & Gift Fayre on Saturday, 9th November and the Christmas Supper and Quiz on Saturday, 7th December.
The committee has tried to keep the hall open and usable to all existing hirers while renovations are carried out and thank the building team for making this possible.
2014 will see further renovations which will be approached in stages so as to keep the disruption to users to a minimum. There are plans for a new kitchen and a bar plus the creation of a new meeting room that will be cosier for smaller groups.
All this work, of course, comes at a cost and there will be plenty of fund raising events for you to attend and enjoy, starting this autumn. The committee hopes, with your support and maybe the odd grant or two, to be able to give North Cheriton the village hall it deserves.
Please don’t forget that Horsington and South Cheriton also have a very fine Village Hall that is available for hire, at especially low rates for local residents and at a very reasonable charge for others.
