Silver Jubilee celebrated with village mural
Bodham and Beckham village hall celebrated its Silver Jubilee on Saturday 27 April by unveiling a splendid mural of 12 canvasses showing 12 scenes from the two villages. The mural was the work of Kettlestone artist Gill Baguley who had been commissioned to produce views of village life. The final result is now fixed as the backdrop of the stage at the village hall.
Among those who came along to the unveiling were many past members of the village hall committee who had presided over the construction of the building 25 years ago. The new mural seems a very suitable addition to a building which plays an important part in enriching village life.
Large numbers of people from the two communities came to see the unveiling by the artist. Pam Baker, chair of the committee and Peter Bedell a committee member, coordinators of the project, explained how a donation from the former Bodham Bingo Club had been made for a specific project and it had been decided to commission the work. The mural was dedicated by the Rev’d Peter Alexander.
At the reception afterwards there was an opportunity for people to go and examine the work closely. “It has been a very exciting project” said Pam Baker “and I am over the moon with the finished article”. Her sentiments were echoed by all those attending.
