History After several years of fund raising the Hall was built and opened in September 1957. It consisted of a main hall with a stage, toilets and kitchen facilities. In 1962 an extension was added providing a much larger kitchen and room for a snooker table that is still used today. During the 1980's a store room was added and the toilet facilities were improved to meet with new regulations. During the last few years there has been a huge effort to upgrade and improve all parts of the building and grounds in order to provide better facilities including: 1998 A sound system including a loop for the hard of hearing installed 1999 Major extension completed including the building of a Committee Room, disabled toilet, serving hatch, extension to the storeroom, new kitchen roof and the inside and outside of the building repaired and repainted 2000 New folding modern tables and 100 new comfortable chairs 2001 Full gas central heating system including boiler and radiators 2002 Further fund raising during Golden Jubilee year towards the next projects. 2003 Resurface of the whole car park and drive. Double glazing installed throughout the building. New gas cooker added to the kitchen. 2004 New lighting installed including stage lighting for use with the annual pantomime and other productions 2005 Provision of an outside dawn to dusk light following annual H&S review. 2006 Busy fund raising towards the major kitchen refurbishment planned to be in place in time for the Hall's 50th Birthday in September 2007. 2007 50th Birthday marked with a party held on the exact date 2008 Major Kitchen refurbishment project completed. 2009 New stage curtains and radiator installed in ladies' toilets 2010 'Mood' lighting installed and outside of the building repainted.
