High on The Hog !

What a magnificent event – and what a boost for the Renewal Fund. The Leap Year Hog Roast raised a staggering £1300 (but nobody proposed!)

Where do you start to say thanks? The fact that all 120 tickets were sold, and the Hall was packed (both for the food, and the pre-meal Bingo) shows how important the Memorial Hall is to the Moorsholm community and the surrounding area.  Click here to read issue 4 (PDF)

We enter 2008 with nearly £4,800 in the Renewal Fund – a fine way to start the New Year, although there is obviously still a very long way to go before work can start on renewing the Memorial Hall. Click Here to Read Issue 3 (PDF)

This is the second issue of our progress report on fund-raising efforts for the Hall Renewal Fund. Thanks to everyone who entered our ‘Spot The Shuttlecock’ competition – the winners were Anne & John Wood who guessed the spot almost exactly, and who donated their prize back to the Fund. Thanks to you both. Click Here to read issue 2 (PDF)

Work has now started in earnest to raise money for the Memorial Hall renewal. A magnificent Harvest Festival organised by the Toad Hall regulars made a contribution of £527 to kick-start the appeal. Click Here To Read Issue 1 (PDF)

Moorsholm Memorial Hall was built in the 1950s as a War Memorial to the 10 men of the village who died in the two World Wars.  After half a century of serving the community well, it is now showing its age.

After a survey of the villagers, it was decided to try to raise the money to renew the Hall completely, with a modern, ‘green’, sustainable building on the same site.  This is a major undertaking for such a small community, but support has been enthusiastic, and many thousands of pounds have been raised in just a few months.  Plans for the possible new building have been drawn up, and Planning Permission has been granted.  Now the Committee are working through the shifting minefield that is the grant funding process.

To keep everyone up to date with the latest developments and fund-raising events, frequent Newsletters are being produced, printed and distributed around the village.  You can view them, from the latest back to the earliest, but following these links.
