East Chinnock Village Hall

 

The Village Hall is the main centre for a range of village groups and functions. This Victorian Ham stone building was originally the village school. Following rewiring and general improvements to the heating and lighting in 2006 the hall provides an adaptable building for a wide range of activities. The hall also has a broadband connection and PC with printer and digital projector. With planned improvements to the kitchen in 2008 the hall will be able to host a wider range of functions needing modern catering facilities.

Regular users of the hall include the Gardening and Countryside Club, Parish Council, Village Coffee Mornings and Women’s Institute. There are also a variety of educational and leisure activities which run to meet demand – these have included Book Sales, Computer Courses, Quizzes, Tai Chi and Yoga. Two traditional annual village activities, the Christmas Fair and the Village Show, are   particularly popular events in the hall.

The hall is managed by a group of trustees who meet regularly to ensure the hall responds to the needs of users and complies with the statutory requirements for a public building.

Friends of East Chinnock Village Hall

 

The Village Hall is an important and invaluable part of East Chinnock village life. Many people in the village use the hall for a variety of events ranging from childrens’ birthday parties to computer training.

In the past short period funds have been raised with your support to update the heating and lighting. The Village Hall committee would like to modernise the kitchen with a view to forming a luncheon club for everyone in the future. We have already instigated coffee mornings on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month from 10.30 to 12.00. Volunteers make coffee and we welcome everyone to drop in, meet people, chat, investigate the computer.

With a view to raising money to buy improved equipment for the new kitchen we are proposing to form "Friends of the Village Hall" with members giving an annual donation of £5.00 per head. In the summer we hope to have a Friends get-together, possibly a lunch.

So, if you would like to support this invaluable part of village life we would be delighted if you became a "Friend of the Village Hall"

If you are a tax-payer your donation can be Gift Aided
