Hall Closure

3/11/2020

 
Unfortunately, due to government restrictions, the hall will be closed from Thursday 5th November. The board will review the situation at the end of the month

Highlights show Friday - 20th November.

27/10/2020

 
​This uproarious and smart hour-long show looks at autism and Asperger’s through the theme of Doctor Who, as Fox takes us through the ways the venerable sci-fi show has shaped her view of the world.

The Hall will be laid out "cabaret style" with household clusters and masks will have to be worn to comply with Covid secure conditions. As a consequence the audience will be limited to 25. Tickets will be £8.

At this stage it would be helpful to know how many locals are interested, before potentially spreading the word wider. An email to rbgriffiths24@gmail.com with the proposed number attending from your household would give us some idea, but please note, no ticket reservations can be made as yet.
Please get back to Richard as soon as possible - it's only four weeks away!

Village Hall 10th Anniversary

9/10/2020

 
Some good news!        It’s the Hall’s 10th anniversary this weekend.
​Unfortunately we can’t hold the party we had planned to thank all the friends & volunteers who helped to put the new hall in place and who keep it up & running and safe.
We will be marking the occasion though, with a tree planting event this weekend, so next time you are at the Hall, look out for the new crab apple tree in the garden.
This needs to be a strictly invitation only event as we are restricted to 6 max, but we hope to share some photos here soon.

Village Hall AGM

6/10/2020

 
​We plan to hold the village hall AGM virtually on 26th October at 7.30pm. This will provide an opportunity to let everyone know what is going on and how we plan to move forward given the current challenges.
 
Fortunately the hall is in a good place; it is financially healthy and functioning again - for the moment at least!
 
The meeting is for members but anyone who resides in Helsington Parish can be a member for the princely sum of £1. If you contact me by email - villagehall.brigsteer@gmail.com - I will happily set up membership and give you the details for joining the meeting.
 
We are aware that there have been a number of newcomers to the village whom we would have met at social events in normal circumstances and we would have invited them to join us. If you know of such people please forward this to them. Let’s hope there are some new faces to join us on 26th October.
 
Best wishes to you all,
 
Richard Bryan
Chair

Coronovirus Update

8/9/2020

 
The Village Hall will reopen on 8th September

The Village Hall Trustees are pleased to announce that the hall is now reopen after implementing government regulations on the safe working of multi-use halls, consulting users and taking advice from other hall managers.
 
To maintain the highest level of Covid19 safety requires the co-operation of all users. Masks must be worn - except during exercise - and social distancing maintained. We are fortunate that the hall can be kept well ventilated. The kitchen and its facilities are currently not in use.
 
A maximum of 25 people can use the hall but some activities are restricted to 12. All hirers will be asked to signup to an enhanced level of operating to make sure that everybody stays safe.
 
If you wish to hire the hall, booking is through HallMaster via the village hall website. This will take you through the process of booking and working in a Covid19 compliant way.
 
We look forward to welcoming everyone back!
 
Richard Bryan on behalf of the Trustees

Coronovirus update

30/6/2020

 
Village Hall - June update 
​

The Village Hall is currently closed and will remain so until the end of July. Whilst halls are now allowed to reopen we are still waiting for detailed guidance particularly in relation to the many physical activities that are provided (such as pilates and yoga) as they are currently excluded from this permission. We will not open until the trustees are confident that the hall is Covid-19 compliant and safe to use.

The Annual General Meeting has been postponed until it becomes practicable to hold one. A copy of the accounts and an update on current issues will be circulated to all members early in July.

We hope to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the opening of the hall in October - please note the 10th and 24th October as possible dates in your diary. It would be good for us all to get together if at all possible after a difficult year.

Best wishes to you all

Richard Bryan 

Tenth Anniversary Celebration

Wishing you all well,

On behalf of the trustees

The village hall has now been legally closed since 23rd March as part of the Government lockdown. This will continue for some time and probably will not change until the third phase of the government plan for business re-opening - currently planned for 4th July. Once the way forward is clear we will advise all users about how we will re-open in a safe way.

Mobile food shop

7/5/2020

 
A food service will be available at the village hall from next Wednesday 6.30 - 7.30pm  - social distancing will apply so that everybody feels safe to use it. Please see the attachment for details.

I hope it proves useful.

Maintenance Day at the Village Hall  - Saturday 16th  9.30am

11/11/2019

 
A couple of hours work is required at the village hall to bring the hedge under control. I would appreciate it if you could give a couple of hours to help. Tools such as loppers, bush saws etc would be useful. It is hoped to burn the resulting brash to stop the river getting blocked. If you could let me know if you can help it would assist in organising the work.
​Thanks in anticipation
