Hall Bulletin - October 2009

The Old Hall

Sold sign outside old hall

On 15th October 2009 another historic landmark was achieved.
The Parish Hall used by the community since 1929 was sold at auction.
Legal completion is timed to coincide with the Hall Trustees taking possession of the fully built replacement hall and until then may still be used for functions.

The New Hall

Since the August 2009 update the building work on the new hall has progressed steadily and virtually on time despite some inclement weather. This of course is thanks to Coyde & Company, our contractors, and their workforce who plodded on resiliently through the summer rain. All things being equal (which of course is a rare occurrence) the work will be complete around the 15th December 2009.

Bearing in mind that pictures can replace so many words here are a few to remind us of the different stages of progress. The current work will be less eye-catching until complete, particularly to the passer by as it mostly relates to the interior floors and walls - so for good measure one or two shots are included.
