Hall renovation
The renovation of the front hall will begin very soon. We are just waiting to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. The hall will be closed for 4 weeks while the renovation takes place. As you know the halls are very well used in the Parish and the closure of the main hall will be a great loss for many of the groups that use the Parish and demands on the back hall will be highly increased. I ask all groups using either hall to check availability with David Smith and please do stick to your time slots so that all groups can use the facilities, limited and all as they will be during the renovation. Your cooperation in the matter is greatly appreciated.
