The Trustees are committed to a programme of constant improvement.
- 20 new red banqueting chairs have been purchased to replace the ageing green chairs. We now have 100 comfortable and good quality chairs.
- The old cookers have been replaced by the purchase of two new Zanussi ceramic hob cookers. These are proving to be very successful, accurate and a pleasure to use.
- Thanks to a substantial grant from the National Lottery we have been able to add a sophisticated LED lighting system to the hall, which will provide a wide range of lighting styles for all kinds of village activities, including drama, parties, dances and social occasions.
- We have re-stocked the kitchen with 100 places of white crockery, cutlery, wine glasses and mugs.
- A complete review of storage has taken place so that we now have room for all important items to be easy to find and use.
- The kitchen is regularly steam-cleaned to help us maintain the highest possible standards of cleanliness and to keep our five star status.
- New cupboards have been installed in the meeting room so that equipment can be stored neatly, safely and off the floor.
- A secondary lighting system has been fitted in the hall to enable ‘instant’ lighting when required. This also offers a more informal atmosphere.
- A non slip surface has been fitted to the decking at the western end of the hall. This area was prone to become slippery when wet.
- A speaker system has now been fitted in the hall with a good amplifier and radio microphones. This will make talks and presentations easier to hear and provide help to those of us who are becoming hard of hearing!
- Some internal decorating is taking place in areas of the hall showing some wear and tear.
- The hall floor has been resurfaced with a hard wearing finish to maintain its superb finish.
- A new high speed dishwasher has been installed in the kitchen.
- Automatic safety lights have been installed on the steps and by the front door.
- New trestle tables have been purchased.
- A new display board has been fitted to allow village creative groups to display their work for the benefit of all who visit the hall.
- Exterior lighting has been fitted to the rear of the village hall to illuminate the pathway to the storage shed.
- New coat hanging facilities have been fitted.
- A full Health and Safety review has taken place, and formal bi-monthly checks are made by members of the committee and recorded.
