Our hall and meeting room are an integral part of our activities and fellowship, as well as other community groups who make use of them on a regular basis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hall was built and opened in 1955, so it’s by no means new, but our recent renovations in October 2012 have given it ‘a new look’. For a start, the hall’s old stage has been totally removed and in its place there is now a new kitchen complete with a pantry, drawers and cupboards, a new electric stove and gas cook-top, a commercial dishwasher with stainless steel sinks and benches, large laminated benches and two serveries – one opening into the hall and the other opening into the meeting room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hall itself has also had a new false ceiling and sweep fans installed to keep us cool in summer. It has easy access to both the kitchen and the toilets. Reverse cycle air-conditioning was added in 2017!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The meeting room (known as the ‘Upper Room’ – even though it’s on the ground floor!) has also been upgraded with the addition of reverse cycle air-conditioners, new carpet, sweep fans and a coat of paint. It also has easy access to the kitchen and toilets. The toilets are now also inside, with facilities for men and women, as well as a disabled toilet (which also has a baby change table).

 

 

 

 

 

 

To finish it all off, there is disabled access into the Upper Room (and from there into the hall), via a newly built ramp and entrance from the car park.
