Little Somerford Village Hall Like many charities, Little Somerford Village Hall has been severely affected by the Covid19 pandemic. We would like to thank all those who have supported us, in whatever way, over the last year. While the hall has been closed, we have been busy behind the scenes. We have decorated the small committee room and have new curtains through-out. In the kitchen we have replaced the hot water tank and large tea urn. Unfortunately, we have had to postpone the purchase of a commercial dishwasher. We have also been able to install superfast broadband, with thanks to GIGACLEAR. � Do you work from home? � Do you need somewhere quiet with superfast broadband to hold online mee�ngs? � Have you thought of hiring the Village Hall for work? Very compe��ve rates from £13 per session (morning/a�ernoon/evening) We are delighted that the hall can re-open for hire from Monday 17 May, following Covid secure guidelines. If you are interested in hiring the hall, please contact: Rachel Nu�all Tel: 01249 720978 Email: li�lesomerford@gmail.com www.li�lesomerford.btck.co.uk The Village Hall is run by a commi�ee made up of residents of Li�le Somerford, for use by the local community. We are always looking for people to join us. We meet every other month, hold a couple of work-party maintenance mornings, and have a couple of fund-raising events each year. We would love you to join us. If this interests you, please contact Mike Jones, mikejones@hotmail.co.uk
