Robert Buckland MP - Surgery

On 3rd December 2010 we are proud to be hosting Robert Buckland MP. This is chance to meet your MP and raise issues with him.

Sessions update

Indoor tennis sessions are a feature of late Friday afternoons until the end of the year. We have belly dancing on Monday evenings and Slimming World on Tuesday evenings. In the New Year, we hope to restart Keep fit on Monday evenings. Scouts meet on Wednesday and Thursday evenings (no Beavers or Scouts yesterday due to gravity field pulling Scouts towards Chiseldon Primary Schools bonfire celebration).

Business as usual next week!

Christening this weekend | Overdue update

It is less of a novelty blogging, as we have been in successful level flight operating the hall for well over a year.

This weekend has a Christening party booking. A fortnight ano we had eight (yes 8) bookings over a four day period. Sadly we had to turn down one request for a slot.

We have users delivering Slimming advice, keep fit and even belly dancing. Indoor tennis training starts on 5th November for youngsters in the village.

All is working well, - from insurance to recording rights to the heating working. We even have some help with hall caretaking.

Only two functions have required repairs. One needed some wall painting after tape was used on the wall and we had a small window broken when some younsters hit the window with a ball.

Akela has been invited to meet the village hall fund trustees, so let see what they have to say. Whilst we feel we would like to uyse those funds, we can clearly operate without them for some time. Trouble is we have aspired to improve the hall with new windows and doors, plus sort out the gents toilets.

Holiday time...

Thanks to Mrs Rabbits for taking care of the hall whilst we were on hols... Enquiries and bookings continue to come in and even whilst in Greece, we took a booking!

Trip Hazard?

Reports that a drayman almost tripped over part of the disabbled exit barrier meant action was required. The aluminium pole does protrude into the car park, but has yellow and black stripes on, so shouldnt have been missed...

To make the barrier more visible, the offending area has been sheeted in using white correx and some bright yellow and black notices applied.

Lets see if this helps. The next question is, - how long will this last in the sun?

Care taker

Were giving Dan a go at being the hall care taker. It should take the load off Pete and Leo for hall cleaning and function set up. This afternoon, he did his first 40 minutes of sweeping, hoovering etc. under the direction and supervision of Leo.

Lets see how he gets on. QA checks will be done by Leo and he'll record his time, so we can remunerate him...

Cubs and table measuring

The hype of election day is past. We swing into another half term and Cub's restarted this evening.

Rosie G of Hopskotch fame popped by to measure tables and the hall room size, in preparation for the Hopskotch table top sale on Saturday 26th June. The event runs from 9am to 12 noon. We wish Hopskotch well with the event.

Fire checks were fitted into the above visit, with no issues found.
