The floor is being prepped, tomorrow the repairs are going to start. I’m amazed at the amount of polish and wood dust that has been sanded off of it already. There are three big bags. Just like this! 

As our regular hirers know our floor has been in desperate need of repair and some love for some time.  Our new committee have managed to secure a grant from the council to help us with this.  The work will be commencing on 1st September for the remainder of the week, check back here to see the progress.

Today we had our sequence dancers back for a practice. Whirling around the hall in their dancing shoes. So lovely to see. It didn’t matter that it was raining outside. It added to the atmosphere. 

We opened our doors to regular hirers on 17th August in line with government guidelines.

A big thank you to Rose and Mrs Dickie Bows for being the first to try out the new Covid restrictions with her Retro Dance class.  It was well organised and as safe can be. All couples had their own taped off area to dance in and Rose directed from the stage. ‘It was a different way of teaching’ Rose said ‘but I’ll get used to it! It was lovely being in the hall and dancing again’
Hirers And Trustees of the hall have supported each other in ideas on how to get the much loved classes up and running again.  The community spirit has come alive in these different times.
