RUSHDEN VILLAGE HALL NEWS 28 April 2014

The Village Hall Committee AGM was held on 28^th April last. The Chairman, Karen Pettyfer detailed the busy year (a melee of mad moments!) just passed starting with Rushden’s first comedy night, fete (soggy!), the Christmas Fair and tree festival in the Church with a delightful concert from Sandon School.

All this and other hard work has meant that once again the hall can be refurbished and improved to a high standard including a new awning for the BBQ area which gets good use and qualified for a NHDC grant.

More ‘events’ are planned (to which food and drink will undoubtedly be added) PLUS Rushden’s first ever ‘panto’ to be held on 6^th and 7^th Feb. 2015. (Note these dates in your diary ! Ed.)

It was agreed that the name of the panto should be released in stages. The first stage is therefore “ xxxx xxxxx xx’ x’xxx”.

(After this startling revelation. Ed.) A new committee (Trustees) was then elected from which the following were elected as officers :

	Chairman	Debs Collis	debscollis@btopenworld.com
	Vice Chairman	Ann Garrott	ann@pgarrott.fsnet.co.uk
	Secretary	Elspeth Gutteridge	elspeth.roberts@talk21.com
	Treasurer	Sue Whiting	theorchardhouse@btinternet.com
	Bookings Secretary	Sue Whiting	++
	Maintenance	Richard Lewis	rjlmail101@aol.com
