Urgent Notice

What happens in the Hall

I have told you about the changes that have taken place in the Hall in the last few years. These have been aimed at improving the facilities and in particular changing the heating system to the Air Source Heat Pumps. In general the latter have been successful, particularly in terms of delivering a comfortable level of warmth at the right time. The drawbacks are high servicing costs and complexity of programming. Other very important and worrying changes have taken place that impact the use of the Hall, our income and therefore our future. Many organisations that in the past used the Hall regularly and therefore provided a steady income stream have ceased to operate. To some extent Covid could be blamed. What might have been a temporary break became permanent. Sadly age is factor. Devoted individuals who have given service for years have had to stop with no younger replacements coming forwards. To some extent we are managing to replace these users of the Hall with new activities but we have to watch things very carefully to make sure we can balance our finances.

Charges. We have held charges unchanged since 2017 but we had to make some increases, as from 1 July 2022. The popular Child’s Party events are held at the same £40 for four hours.

What’s On? On Saturday 2 December Byfield Breakfast comes around again. Remember no BBB in January, back in February. Pat Cannell led a very successful day of singing and fun on Saturday 18 November with over 20 enthusiastic singers. The Byfield PTA Christmas Market was very well supported last Sunday. Up to Christmas there is not much on with no PTA Christmas Ball. In recent years this event has not attracted sufficient support to make it viable. A pity, but a sign of the times?

Details for all these events to be found under News & Events.
