We are very grateful to all the organisations and individuals that have donated money to allow us to expand the Hall.
These donation have allowed us to build The Foyle Room, expand the kitchen and add a storage area next to the bar. Further, the main hall has been redecorated and new heaters installed. We still need to purchase new curtains and blinds. The floor of the storage area needs covering and the bar floor needs upgrading. The upgrade so far has benefited the following activities.
- The village orchestra, some 40 members strong, now has an extra smaller room to store music stands, instrument cases and covers and tune up before entering the large hall – The Foyle Room
- Our “Frolics”, a wonderful Am Drams group who perform our panto every year, incorporating performers including Kitty aged 5 to John aged 85. The whole village is involved: from sewing costumes, painting scenery to singing or just being an active audience. They now have the Foyle Room to store props, group rehearsals and actors changing room.
- Our OAP Christmas Dinner held every year in the large hall for over 100 elderly residents now has extra space for preparation of gifts, music and decorations – The Foyle Room.
- The Croscombe Charter Market holds quarterly meetings and sales of local produce and now have the Foyle Room for a refreshment area during the market.
You can buy a brick in our memory wall which displays inside the hall on a brass plate your chosen 15 words such as:
“To Carol for her special performance in Alibaba 2015 – you are a star – love Mum and Dad”
“To my darling Robin who loved all music – never forgotten – Ellie”
“So proud of our Steve who played with the orchestra for the first time – Grandpa and Grandma”
“To Mum and Dad for helping me achieve my dancing exams – all love Katy”
“To our great friend Johnny – always a great supporter of the village hall – Jean and Frank”
“The Croscombe Activity Club helped to support this wall”
This memory will be there forever and makes a wonderful present at anytime, but especially for Christmas.
