  • Tunstead Village Hall AGM – 2019

    It is currently a very exciting and busy time for the village hall committee. We are having plans drawn up for the new village hall.

    We have sent out a questionnaire to everyone in the village asking for opinions on what people want from the hall when it is built.

     

    We have had a representative from the Football Association (FA) take a look around the recreation ground in order to assess our position for obtaining grants from the FA.  We are also running our regular events; the Yard Sale is coming up on the 12th May, and the Village Fete on the 9th June.

     

    The Annual General Meeting,
    which had to be postponed in April, will now take place on Tuesday 14th May at 7:30pm. We have just one vacancy for a Trustee. If you would like to join the committee please come along to the meeting in the modular building.

     

    It is not necessary to be on the committee to volunteer to help run the village hall and recreation ground charity. We are looking for people with particular skills to join the body of 50 volunteers that help us already. We are currently looking for volunteers with professional and technical skills in:

    • Legal Matters – to help establish the legal basis for the Charity and its new hall.
    • Bid Writer – someone to help with making applications to grant providers to fund the building of the hall.
    • Building Project Manager – someone with established skills to ensure the construction of the village hall will be a success.
    • Grounds-Keeping – a person who will be able to prepare the recreation ground for football matches and other events. Also, to ensure that the play area is safe for the children to use.
    • Questionnaire Reviewer – a person with skills in assessing responses to the questionnaire sent out recently.

    If you have any of the above skills or other technical skills, especially when the construction of the village hall is under-way next year, please come along and have a chat.
    The plans for the village hall will also be on display at the AGM.

  • TVH – Update No.1

    Village Hall Update #1

    By now you would have read in the December’s edition of “Smalltalk” the article giving an update of the Village Hall Project. I thought you might like to read about the project in more detail. If so please read on…

    The article and images can be seen in the village modular building. These were posted after the public presentation that was given to the Village Hall Committee and then later to the Parish Council.

    Firstly, in this blog is a reproduction of the Smalltalk article. This is followed by a link to the full narrative on the village hall project.

  • Marc James Event Saturday – 24th March

     

    This event has been cancelled

    The Tunstead Village Hall Committee have reluctantly had to cancel this event, due to lack of ticket sales.

    Coming REALLY soon – Have you got your tickets?

    Saturday 24th March sees the Marc James musical evening at Place UK. Thanks goes to Tim Place for allowing the Tunstead Village Hall and Recreation Ground committee to use his barn for this event.

    Tickets are on sale from Wendy Atkins, Sarah Pearson and via [email protected] at £5. You can purchase the tickets on the door for £7. Doors open 7:00 for 8:00 start.

    Marc has quiet a following. I am sure it will be a great evening.

    Any profits from the event go towards the fund for the building that is going to replace the existing modular building on the rec.

  • Defibrillator Campaign Gains Momentum

    Last night, 10th October, at the Tunstead Village Hall Committee evening, the “Defibrillator for Tunstead” campaign got a little closer to its fruition. Gilly Foulds, the owner of the Horse and Groom (our village pub) made a donation to the fund.

    Every fourth Tuesday of the month, the Horse and Groom host a quiz night. The prize of 50% of the total entry fees collected, going to the winner, and 25% to the runner up. Gilly then donates the remainder to the village funds. Currently, the village is focusing upon the purchase of a defibrillator to be installed within the phone box opposite the primary school. An article published on the parish council web site describes a defibrillator and its use, and can read by following this LINK .

    The next quiz night to be held at the Horse and Groom is 24th October at 8:00pm, teams can enter for a small fee. So come along and exercise your brain cells as well as exercising your right arm (lifting glasses of delicious ale). You will have an entertaining and challenging evening, and would be contributing to the current campaign of getting a defibrillator for the village.
