Our monthly outgoings are covered by the regular rentals, but if we want to do anything extra, we have to fundraise specifically.
We achieved a lot in 2019 such as:
- Replace Hand Dryers
- Create and build under stage storage
- Replace soffit, fascia and guttering
- New roll-down shutters for kitchen and bar openings
- New Alcove Lighting
- Creation of a Heritage room in conjunction with local historian Dr Susan Pittman and Crockenhill Parish Council
- Fitted Wainscotting to lower walls in main hall
- New Curtain tracks to stage curtains
- New window roller blinds
2020 has seen limited opportunities for fundraising and we have seen a dramatic dip in our finances as we have been forced to close the hall due to Covid-19. Despite this we have achieved the following:
- New Interior Doors
- Creation of a new cloakroom
- Creation of a new hall office
- Replace overhead projector screen
- Stage floor was extensively refurbished
2021 has seen an increase in our fundraising efforts and we have so far achieved the following:
- Repair and repaint main hall and stage area
- Purchased and installed a new bicycle rack
- Repair and repaint the rear lobby
- Replaced small and medium trestle tables
- Fitted a new kitchen together with a new cooker hood
- Repair and repaint the front lobby
- Refurbish and upgrade the bar area
However there is still a lot more to do including, but not limited to, the following:
- Replace large trestle tables
- Replace pin-board display screens
- Provide a buggy shelter
If you can help with any of this, please let us know. Thank you
