About the centre
Fifty years of dances, funerals, exams, bingo and badminton.
How the hall came about
The hall was built in 1974 on a site given by the Sheridan family, paid for by subscription. People gave a pound a week for three years, and men from the parish did the block work at weekends. It opened with a dance on Stephen's Night 1974 and the same floor is under your feet today.
In 2009 we added the foyer, the accessible toilet, the Meeting Room and the Committee Room, with help from the LEADER programme and the county council. The kitchen was refitted at the same time. The north side of the roof is next — that's what the lotto is for.
The centre is a registered charity run by a voluntary committee of eight, elected each year at the AGM in February. Nobody is paid. Hire fees cover heat, light, insurance and the caretaker's expenses, and whatever is left goes back into the building.
