Activity over the past week at the village hall has heightened as the project nears completion. The plumbing is finished, the electrical work is all but done and on Friday the floors were being laid. The new kitchen will be fully installed during the coming week leaving a short list of bits and pieces, the largest of which is the new floor in the meeting room. For all those eager to cast a critical eye over the completed project there are some upcoming events planned.

There have been times over the past few years when the village hall committee wondered whether they would ever secure the funding necessary to carry out this major work, and with the hall so close to completion I think the village must surely be proud of the hard work and sheer man-hours volunteered by the committee members. Now there's something to toast at the Christmas Party!
