Summer Dance and BBQ

Music by Face-2-Face

Tickets from the committee or at the door.
Children up to the age of 17 go free, adults pay a fiver!

This event is a fund raiser for the refurb!

The village hall once had a flowering cherry, what a display it put on this year.

That was not enough to save it from the chainsaws.

The tree had a broken limb, all agreed it was dangerous and had to be removed. The top interfered with the BT wires, these too were hacked.

A week later the whole tree was felled "aye it was rotten" ... but could you really tell before you felled it? What was wrong with the rhododendron, that it had to suffer a similar fate?

The tree was gifted to the village and has to be replaced, maybe once the renovations have been completed ... after all we dont want a hall that looks as clinical as Balbeggie.

3rd May 2008 Comedy club in the hall for the School funds ... tickets from the usual touts soon!!

What a great night on the 29th of February 2008, the hall looked great with its christmas lights strung across the ceiling ... was this wee bit of atmosphere creation what prompted a proposal from one guest to another ... we will never know.
The band "Bill Blacks Broadcasting Band" were fantastic, the dance floor was busy from the start of the evening to the very end!

The next event in the hall is a Comedy Club on the 3rd of May ... this is an annual event for the school funds ... tickets from the usual sources!

Summer BBQ and dance will be in June ... if it is half as good as Friday its going to be a belter!

The hall refit refurb rebuild is moving on, next meeting to set up a sub committee to drive this!

Burrelton Hall Committee would like to thank all those who supported the Christmas Tree Lights switch on and carol singing last Saturday evening. Special thanks to those who delivered the fliers, to 'Face to Face' who provided the music and the carols leaflets and Gavin Morris for donating the tree. The sum of £85 was raised from the raffle on the night.

If you have any comments good or bad about what we are doing at the Village Hall... just add them here for all to see!

Whoo Hoo .... Christmas lights are getting switched on at the village hall on Saturday the 15th at about 6pm!

Wee bit oh carol singing too ... and some light refreshments ... yum yum ... mulled wine ... drool ... shortbread....

There will be a wee raffle for a Luxury Hamper!!


See you there.......

A new era dawns in the Village Hall. At the last AGM Nan who was on the committee for 20 years resigned, she will be missed, she has been a cornerstone of the village hall community and we wish her well.
The new 12 person committee have got their work cut out, just to keep the place running. They will be introducing some new procedures and processes around billing and contacting the hall committee.
....

What a great night Saturday was ... no not the lunar eclipse (well that as well) ... The PTA Comedy Night - 4 comedians and Mr Jokey Joke Joke from last year as compere. Oh how we laughed and cringed ...

Hope this event raised a pile of dosh for the PTA...

The hall was looking quite tidy ... the floor wasn't slippy ... but the heating really does need fixed.

Whats on next in the hall?

BWAG - The news letter - there is going to be one ... very soon. Do you have an event in the village to advertise on the reverse? Post it here.

All the options for what to do with the village hall are on the table ... Now all we want is a village decision. Each option has its supporters, so not everybody will be happy.

The hall cannot go on the way it is at the moment, so lets elect a buddy from each camp and play "Rock Scissors Paper"to decide ;P

On the 3rd of March, it is plain to see
there is to be night, of brilliant comedy.
There will be a bar, and a raffle too
so get your tickets, from the PTA Crew.
All money raised, goes to the school coffers
to let the PTA, make special offers.

A Couple of things have gone on since The Blog was last updated. There was a New Years dance .. not the best attended but great fun .. you missed your selves... we need more support!
Unfortunately I couldn't make the Bingo Tea in January ... so cant comment... does somebody else who was there what to add something?
What I did notice is that somebody is taking care of the inside of the hall ... bit of plasterboard here, insulation there and some paint too.
The floor was looking good - who found the polish and polisher?
I have heard on the grapevine that its too slippy for some of the hall customers... Playgroup, dancing and keep fit ... idle gossip or truth ... dunno ... want to tell me?

The recent storms managed to dislodge some more slates from the north side of the roof ...

Finally, the sub group that is looking into a replacement have to raise the profile of what they are doing ... I will update here when I get more info.

Oh Come All Ye Faithful.....
What a great idea, Carol singing (well done Village Hall Committee an inspired idea) and the switching on of the Christmas tree lights.
Yum yum mulled wine and shortie!
I had a great time, and what a great turn out the hall was "burstin' at the seams".
Whats next ... let me know!

Hello from the village hall ... want to tell me something .. well here is the place to do it!
