Chiseldon Village Memorial Hall {search term}

Just had a phone call from a local councillor saying he was getting telephone calls asking to book the Calley Memorial Hall.  Looks like he is the trustee for the CHISELDON VILLAGE MEMORIAL HALL trust fund and hence search engines are directing hits his way...  By mentioning this here, we should start to divert some of those calls back to our number; 01793 741164.


Just come over from the hall. Another kids party in full swing.  Loo's cleaned and all spic and span ready for them to have a great event...

Removed the old toilets to the tip this morning. The mens loo's and windows look great (thanks to Mick Jones the builder). Inside the kitchen the new windows look clean and bright. With so much old wooden frame removed the kitchen feels much brighter.

I went up in the loft this afternoon. The old 'Fortic' hercules immersion heater has a hole in it. I dont think it can be repaired so we are on the lookout for a replacement. I reckon some self help will get the price of hot water in the sink down to very low levels. Having been looking on ebay, an alternative is instant hot water units. In any case, I am on the case and am actively looking for a solution.

New Windows and toilets installed

Its been a while since I posted an update... Having bought glass to replace a broken window, I realised that the frame was too far gone... A few mails to members of the Scout Exec and I had approval to get them replaced.

The kitchen now has double glazed windows that don't leak cold air into the building. The gents toilets North wall windows have all been replaced with double glazed units that have air vents included.

In the previously dire gents cubicles we now have two brand new low level toilets. This is a significant upgrade from the one loo and cisterns that were installed in 1933!

Sustrans were in the building for a meeting today, I hope the plumber didn't disturb them too much.

The hall continues to be used by the community and we continue to see parties, slimmers, dog handlers, meetings and other events - in addition to Scout users in the hall.

I continue to aspire to hot water being installed but the last quote was way too much. I'll keep working this one... On the outside, we still want to put new windows and doors on the front of the hall. Lets raise some more money and position to make it happen.
