about badminton, table tennis, bridge or wine appreciation - in fact virtually
anything so long as it is legal! For those new to the village, or anyone else, here
is a short history and update on the Village Hall: what it is, how it works,
and how it came into being. The original Hall was a converted RAF hut built on
land given to the Village in 1950. The
cricket field and tennis courts were added shortly afterwards. In 1984 the present building was erected
after much fundraising and with the help of various grants, and later on more
land down the Ings was purchased. The Hall is run by a Management Committee of up to
30 people which meets every two months. Five members retire and are replaced by
election each year. The Hall is a registered Charity, and the Committee is
overseen by seven Trustees who hold the Hall and lands under a Deed of Trust. The upkeep of the Hall is entirely dependent on
income from hiring and from fundraising events: it is independent of the
District and Parish Councils and receives no aid from them. Being a Charity it
does not make a “profit” so any surplus of income is used for major maintenance
and improvements. Hire rates for local people and groups are kept low
to encourage Village societies to grow and to use the Hall - which is after all
the main purpose of the building – but this means that fundraising events are
necessary to make up the shortfall in income, and that as much maintenance as
possible is carried out by volunteers. Village Social events are
advertised in the Village Shop and there will often be circulars throughout the
Village and announcements in the Parish Newsletter Notton is fortunate in having a number of people
who are willing and able to give their time in all sorts of ways to the Village
Hall, but of course more volunteers are always welcome! The Management Committee has a few vacancies,
and anyone interested should come to the next Committee meeting and/or give me
a ring. Peter
