Hall Refurbishment
The refurbishment
of the Village Hall is now complete! See
how it all happened!
Many
thanks to everyone who has helped, in whatever way, to achieve
this.
We now have a warm and inviting hall, with a well equipped
kitchen, for all to enjoy.
Remember
that you can use the hall for your events -
children's parties, wedding receptions, birthday parties ...
or whatever!
If you
live in Stocklinch and want to use the hall for a private
or community function there is no charge. All that we ask
is a donation towards the running of the hall.
A modest charge (see below for details) is made for the hire
of the hall by others.
Have you
thought how convenient the hall would be for business meetings,
classes, etc.? Seating and tables can be arranged in many
ways to suite your need. We can even help you arrange catering.
Contact
Bev on 01460 259 303 or John on 01460 520 80 for further details
and to make bookings.
Please
remember that funds are still required to repay the loans
taken out for the refurbishment, so do continue to support
the Village Hall. Most importantly, do come and enjoy the
events held throughout the year in the village.

the hall and many other activities. Grace Trevett has relinquished
the role of Secretary and Terry Cox the role of Vice-chairman,
both after many years of service. Happily, both remain on

again after many years of involvement.

life over the years.

Village Hall is the only meeting place, other than the church,
in Stocklinch and is used as the venue for many events.
