of achievements 2023 1. We secured two grants (£20,000 in total) in 2023 from the Lottery Community Fund and the Village Hall Platinum Jubilee Grant towards our renovation plans. 2. The kitchen was gutted and fully fitted out using Grant monies. 3. We successfully managed to move to online banking. 4. The Events Group was formed to organise a programme of events throughout the year to improve social connectivity within the village due to the continued closure of the public house. This is to the benefit of both the community and the Memorial Hall. 5. Bookings have remained steady, and the hall is being properly utilised, resulting in a comfortable small profit margin year on year.
