The Rugby Club have kindly donated surplus chairs, crockery and cutlery to the Village Hall which were gratefully received. 

Work on new toilets including an access toilet, baby change and water heater has begun, also steps down into the car park. 

## **Rentals** 

Hall rentals are good, the majority being made up with the regular bookings from Pilates and dog training classes as well as 2 bands who now regularly book the hall for rehearsals. 

## **Dogs in the Field** 

In response to the request at last year’s AGM for dogs to be allowed in the Village Hall field for exercise etc. the Committee deliberated on all the options requested.  After much in-depth discussion, it was decided that: 

‘The  Village  Hall’s  field  will  remain  a  dog  free  zone  except  during  officially  sanctioned community  events,  during  which  dogs  will  be  permitted  on leads  at  the  discretion  of  the Committee.’
