Needham Coronation Village Hall

After the Annual General Meeting to be held on 16 May, Steve Neaves (Chairman) will be stepping down from his current role, but we are delighted that he has agreed to continue as a Committee member. Also, George Miller (Vice-Chairman) and John Morrish (Treasurer) will both be leaving the Committee on 16 May.

I am sure you would all like to join the Committee in thanking Steve, George and John for all their hard work over the years in their various roles and also for their participation in a variety of working parties which has contributed greatly to ensuring that we have a first-class, thriving village hall.  

Steve took over as Chairman of the Committee in 2013 and despite a demanding full-time job, has devoted a great deal of time and energy to ensure the successful management of the hall.

George joined the Committee in 2007 and has served at various times as Chairman, Treasurer, and Vice-Chairman.  He was instrumental in bringing about the building of the village hall annexe,  devoting countless hours towards securing the necessary grants to finance the project and dealing with the resolution of the many day-to-day issues involved in a new build.

John joined the Committee in 2012, It is difficult to describe fully the variety of tasks he has undertaken.  When repair/improvement works on the hall have been required, John has always been willing to either undertake tasks personally or supply his recommendations on which tradesmen would do the best job.    

In addition to filling the above vacancies, it is also important to expand our membership, in order to guarantee the continued management of the Village Hall going forward.  The Committee currently meets once a month, for approximately an hour.  The members organise and assist with the running of events, such as the BBQ and the Christmas Party, and they also help with occasional miscellaneous jobs

If you would like to have a chat to find out more what is involved, please contact either Steve Neaves on 01379 852214 or John Morrish on 01379 851171.                                                                

The Village Hall Annual General Meeting will take place in the Village Hall Annexe, commencing at 7.30 pm on Monday, 16 May.

The Committee looks forward to welcoming villagers and hall hirers to the meeting.
