review of our pricing structure as well as expanding on the facilities we are able to provide.
Moving forward, the hall, rooms and lounge area will be equipped with facilities for companies and organisations to be
able to run AGMslmeetingslaway days etc. so that we can offer another type of facility to our portfolio.
The bar has been working well as we continue our relationship with Chris Wickes the current license holders.
Our bookings clerk and maintenance team are dedicated and supportive and are an integral part of our day-to4ay running
of the hall and I wish to thank Brenda Pettit for making sure we are informed and for her commitment to CVHT.
