16 October 2024 - Mission Hall Newsletter
Dear All - We want to update you on a couple of important topics about the Mission Hall.
The Lease: After getting strong support from the village, we approached the St Andrew’s Church PCC (Parochial Church Council) to ask for the Lease of the Hall to be extended. The current Lease ends in 2029, and we have asked for it to be extended as soon as can be arranged for a 40-year period. I am happy to say that the PCC have supported this Lease extension strongly, and the detailed document is now being prepared by the church Solicitors. We are very grateful to the PCC for their help and support.
Improvements and Renovations: Having confidence that the village will continue to enjoy the use of its Hall for the foreseeable future, we wrote a specification for a set of improvements and repairs to put the Hall into a good state, relying significantly on the results of a Building Survey we commissioned (we are grateful to the Trustees who have run the Hall since 1999 for the generally good state of the building). We went out for tenders, and have just selected a builder, Mike Fuller, to do and manage the work for us. We hope that the main work will start on January 6th, and last about 6 weeks, during which time sadly the Hall will have to be closed. Some work will be done in December, but the Hall will only need to be closed for odd days, without disruption to our regular Hirers.
Here is a list of the works that will be done:
12 October 2024 - Fun in the mud

10 October 2024 - News for pond-life, ladies, and quizzers
04 October 2024 - Village Christmas Party

29 September 2024 - Murderer escaped detection!

Both of these events are in aid or the local Air Ambulance service

Friday 1st November at 10.30am - Coffee Morning as usual

19 September 2024 - Refurbished Bench
You'll remember that the bench by the pond in front of the pub was replaced recently - thanks to cost-sharing between the Sutton Poyntz Society and The Springhead.
We also said that although the old bench was condemned as "beyond economic repair" by the Weymouth Town Council, we found an unpaid volunteer who offered to fix it up. Well it's been finished (by Graeme Morrison - many thanks!) and this team of unemployed reprobates pictured below have installed it on the Millennium Oak Walk.
