(Updated below) After Private Fundraising, Major Renovations and General Building had finished, the new hall was opened as planned on a glorious May day.

Florrie Shaw and Peter Fletcher cut the commemorative cake.

The plaque will be mounted in the new entrance hall.

Update: Ebb and Flow readers may notice the photos of the event were supplied by Blaxhall.com, high resolution versions are available for download for those interested.

Frosty mornings are not yet a distant memory, but the summer ball is nearly upon us. Tickets for the event are now available from Joyce, Graham and Nigel, up until the 29th. There will be a licensed bar and Buckshee will be providing the music for the event on the 31st. The picture links to a bigger image of the flyer.

Swallows have been seen in Blaxhall over the Bank Holiday weekend, and if they did indeed arrive back so recently they certainly chose the right time to enjoy a glorious spell of weather. Long may it last.
