Following our recent appeal in the Lyminge Newsletter, we were approached by Helen Burr (Traditional Architectural Design Service) and Catherine Hughes (Planning Policy Consultant).
They very kindly and for free, produced a comprehensive and professional document with design proposals to assist the committee in its discussions regarding increased usage and providing a facelift to the Village Hall. The hall is approaching its 20th year and will now benefit from some treatment both inside and out.

We are writing separately to all the clubs and other organisations that currently use the hall to find out what they would like to see by way of improvement and we also need YOUR individual views. Please take five minutes to complete our survey published within the Newsletter. Then post or take it to 41, Palm Tree Way so that we may find out what the village (and visitors too) want from its hall. Remember - use it or lose it! Well not quite - but your views will really provide the basis on which we progress.

If you have any other ideas or thoughts you wish to share with the Hall Trustees you can also email us at crafter342@aol.com
An update bulletin on the response and ideas will be printed in next months Newsletter (don't forget to get your response in prior to 18th September copy deadline).

Although not mentioned in the survey we are also keen to promote the efforts of Tessa Bedwell and Steve Ivory with their community liaison with the youngsters of the village.

Please don't forget the Village Hall is yours - the natural choice for sport, leisure and social events.
Call Joy Bartley on 862538 to discuss your booking requirements.

You can access the survey online by clicking here. This can be printed out, or copied into an email.
