Thls gave us an income stream. which was very welcome, and we are grateful to their coach. for her willingness to negotiate a timetsble which allows for community use on Sundays. for party bookings and so on, as things have returned to relative normality- As ever, I need to thank my fellow trustees. for their hard work In *eeplng our hall up and runnin ready for the return to full use.
