WIGHTON VILLAGE HALL TRUSTEES REPORT ,1" JANUARY- 31" DECEMBER 2023 This report is based on our activities from when the new Village Hall was handed over by the builders to the Wighton Village Hall Trustees and Committee following completion of the new building on 12th October 2023. The weeks that followed saw the purchase and delivery of tables and chairs, kitchen equipment, toileucloakroom furniture - everything needed for a fully functional kitchen and facilities to the desired standards. Cabinets and storage facilities were purchased for the storeroom and in the following weeks solar panels were installed. The Village Hall was opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony by Mrs th Julie Dyson on Saturday 28 October to allow the local residents, friends and visitors to view their new hall and all its modern facilities, followed by a dance on the Saturday evening. On Sunday 29 October 2023. the hall was officially declared open by Lord and Lady Leicester th We now have a village hall that is hired for Yoga, Pilates and fitness classes, all types of celebrations, parties, Community Lunches, Club nights, as we are fully licensed, and dances. Apart from the hire charges we also have a regular monthly income from the Friends of Wighton Village Hall. Up to the end of December 2023 we had a very busy and financially successful few weeks and with all the advance bookings we have and events we have already held so far in 2024, it appears that Wighton Village Hall will prove to be a valuable asset to the village.
