June 2020 Bulletin
Welcome to our first bulletin, designed to keep our users and supporters fully informed on all matters concerning your village hall.

Like everyone else, we are very keen to return to normal just as soon as possible but we must be guided by the Government on this.

We are watching developments closely but need to be very cautious about committing to opening the hall and all its facilities while restrictions are still in place.

We are particularly aware of the legal responsibilities of the Trustees so need to ensure that it really is safe to re-open before doing so.

Naturally, we will inform everyone immediately when we have further news.

For your safety and peace of mind, the premises will undergo a deep clean prior to opening and there will also be hand sanitisers placed at key points around the hall to safeguard visitors.
Sadly, the Post Office will also have to remain closed until we are able to open the hall once more.

On a more positive note, having followed the guidance of the Charities Commission to hold the equivalent of 6 months operating costs has meant that we have been able to suspend our normal booking terms and conditions.
This means we’ve been able to refund deposits in full where a booking has been cancelled and we are also able to be very flexible about re-bookings.
Please be assured that any monies paid in advance will be held in credit for when activities resume. When we do re-open, we will balance each account, giving credit for the closed period or for reduced activity.

We very much look forward to the day when we can bring you the exciting news that we can re-open but, in the meantime, we hope you and your family remain safe and well.

The Trustees
