Old Malton War Memorial Hall
Trustees/ Chairmans Report October 2022
After the two year shut down the hall has emerged once more as the centre of the Old Malton Community. The village has increased in size with a new estate of 40 houses and this has been reflected by our new extended committee, two of which live in the new houses. We now have 7 people on the committee and can begin to share the load of job responsibilities. The toilet re-vamp has now been enhanced by kitchen improvements and the back section of the hall is much tidier. We are still looking to improve the main hall ceiling and floor with a new stage area with lighting and an in-house PA system. Funding for this has already been agreed with a local business. We now have a de-fibrillator on the hall entrance and training for the people of the village is being arranged soon. We also plan to provide broadband for hall users. We have a paid gardener who visits every other week but his work has been minimised due to the help of the “Community Service “people who, under supervision have cleared all the hedging to the rear of the property and made improvements to the car park surface.
The hall is now in daily use by several Fitness groups, Ryedale special families, Men-cap, Latin line dancing, Pilates, Charity Brass band , Dog training, Bee keepers, and even a group of Naturists, (behind closed doors obviously).
THE hall has been included in a Ryedale Solar panel scheme and surveys are underway to establish feasibility . THE committee have attended several meetings with Jos Holmes who is the NYCC Climate Change Policy Officer.
The hall continues with its own fundraising efforts with a Talent Night planned for October along with a children’s Halloween Party later in the month.
The committee report, at last to being even more proud of the hall and we hope that the recent improvements will increase hall usage..
