Take a look inside our hall and meeting room!

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.
