Caroline Rodgers (headteacher of the primary school) and I (Lynne Goldsworthy, chair of governors of the primary school) were taken on a tour this lunchtime of the building site that is very fast turning into the new village memorial hall. The space and facilities that the school will be able to use really amazed and excited both of us. The hall will benefit the village school children hugely and, as we were walking round the site, we were already planning what we could do with the space.
One of the most obvious uses will be as an indoor sports facility for the children – they will be able to use it for indoor badminton, 5-a-side football, basketball, hockey, netball, gymnastics, dance etc. etc. The school will also be able to use it as an extended learning facility, for assemblies, for end of term productions, the list is endless.
The teaching staff will be visiting the hall shortly to enable them to start planning for its use. Governors of the school will also be invited to have a look around to see what a fabulous facility this will be for the school. We will be the envy of all the other village schools in the area and are very excited about being able to start using the hall as early as next term!

Many thanks to Ben for taking the time to show me round the new hall, I can’t wait for everyone on the school team to see the hall!
Thank you Ben for showing me round the new Hall today. It is good to see the shape of the rooms and how much space there is both inside and out.
I had not thought it was possible to achieve so much on this site, and still not seem hemmed it. A credit to the original architect and everyone who has worked on the project.
Do contact Ben to arrange a look for yourself.
(Ben, would it be possible to set up a time or several times when people could just turn up to have a look round or, because of health and safety, do you have to have advanced warning?)
It is only possible to visit the site with a designated member of the Committee. Health and Safety is the primary reason and because it is a working site, it also has to be at the convenience of the builders. I call in at the site numerous times a day, so I know what is happening, and when, so I only take people around when I know it is safe and possible to do so. The Memorial Hall Committee would like as many interested villagers as possible to visit the site, if you would like to go around either give me a ring on 665 or flag me down as I am cycling around. Cheers Ben.
