It’s been another busy, productive year at the Memorial Hall, with a huge variety of events taking place, making it a true community hub.
Possibly the most significant event has been the relocation of Beckington Pre School here last January. With some rearranging and flexibility on both sides, we were happy to welcome them to the hall. They have been a vibrant addition.
The hall is managed by a diverse group of volunteers who give up their time and enthusiasm willingly. I would like to thank each one for the variety of tasks they undertake. Recently we welcomed two new members, Lu Hughes and Sandy Usher.
Beckington Players also need a mention for their hugely successful panto which raised a considerable sum which is going towards the playground refurbishment. Thank you Abi McGillivray and team.
Earlier this year wifi was finally installed! The amplifier in the hall has been replaced along with a new hand held microphone and thanks to the generosity of Georgia, Travis and Aaron Webb new goal posts were installed in the field. They are in almost constant use. Plans for this coming year include refreshing the main hall, decorating, new curtains etc.
The Pantaloons theatre company put on a professional, humorous production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, the first event of this type we have organised. Look out for next years production!
Finally, we said a fond farewell to Mike Collins in May, he had been part of the committee for many years and we miss him greatly. He had ably chaired our meetings keeping us all in line.
We are always keen to welcome new members, if you’d like to be involved please get in touch.
