Public Hall AGM next week

When the installation of double-glazed windows is completed the Public Hall Management Committee will have spent almost £100,000 on the refurbishment of the hall since 2002. During this time the electrical system has been renewed; the roof replaced; a new extension providing new toilet facilities and additional storage space has been built; the floor in the main hall has been renovated and the floor covering in the bar and on the stairs has been renewed.

All these projects have only been possible with the enthusiastic support of the village community, the Parish Council, Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council and WREN (Waste Recycling Environmental Ltd) who have provided a large part of the funding. Other organisations who have provided vital support are: Cheshire County Council, the Parish Councils of Buerton and Hankelow, Lloyds TSB, ASET, ADAS, ACAMF, Audlem Bowls Club and Audlem WI. In addition there was a gift aid scheme which attracted donations of over £2400, allowing an extra £650 or so to be reclaimed from the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Further planned work in 2006 includes external painting and redecorating the main hall.

Is the committee doing a good job? Is there anything else that they should be considering? It's your hall. Come and have your say at the AGM on 20th April. It starts at 7.30pm.
