Goodbye to Joyce
06.08.11 |
After about 30 years sterling service as a Trustee to the Village Hall, Joyce Shaw is leaving the village to move to Bradford-on-Avon. Joyce's knowledge, experience and (sometimes forthright!) views will be sorely missed at Trustees' Meetings. The Trustees would like to publicly thank Joyce for her support over the years and wish her many years of happiness in her new home. |
Disabled ramp now available
02.07.11 |
The Trustees are pleased to announce that we have now had a new ramp built to enable wheelchair users to access the patio from the Main Hall. This ramp is stored away when not in use so if you would like it to be available for your event please contact the Hall Manager on 07887 780576. |
New Bookings Secretary for the Hall
14.03.11 |
After 12 whole years as Bookings Secretary, Pam Dullage has hung up (!!!) her telephone and handed the reins over to Lesley Edmeads. The Hall Bookings number remains the same on 01959 525181 as does the e-mail address of ovmh.secretary@otford.net. |
New chairs for the Main Hall
09.02.11 |
After looking a many different styles and models we have now arrived at what we think is the most suitable chairs for the Main Hall. These are black and blue folding chairs and will be stored on two racks which will also make them easier to move around the Hall. These chairs are now on order and we are anticipating delivery in the next few weeks. When these arrive we will move 60 of the Main Hall chairs into the Club Room and the extras from the Main Hall and any that are still servicable from the Club Room will go into storage to be available for major events. Further details are available from the Hall Manager. |
Latest fundraiser
13.01.11 |
The Trustees would like to express a huge thank you to Linda and Alan Linton who organised a party to raise much-needed funds for the Hall. A big thanks too to all of those who came to support and contributed nearly £1,100.00 to the Hall's maintenance fund. |
Handy with a paint brush? Looking to earn a little extra cash?
09 Sept 2010 |
The Trustees are looking for someone, who preferably lives in the village, who can do a bit of painting for us. Nothing terribly taxing - largely emulsion - and would ideally suit someone who is retired or semi-retired. We'll discuss a rate of pay later but we are not unreasonable! Hours will be pretty much to suit you (and fit in with our hirers). If you are interested either ring the Hall Manager on 01959 525181 or e-mail ovmh.manager@otford.net. |
New Additions to the facilities at the Hall
08 Aug 2010 |
An enormous thank you to Mrs Mareth Robson of Otford who has very generously donated a wheelchair to the Hall. Although the wheelchair is not used very often it is invaluable on those occasions when it is required and the Trustees are very grateful to Mrs Robson for this new one.
Big thanks too to Mr Jeff Duck who runs the Otford 1940's Swing Dances who has kindly installed a glitter (mirror) ball and spotlight in the Main Hall that is available for use by any hirer using this Hall. If you wish to make use of this please contact the Hall Manager who will make the arrangements. |
