Longstanding Traditions
At almost 100 years old, our beautiful community hall has seen some interesting times and is full of character. During World War II it was used for Air Force communications and sand was spread across the floor to prevent it being damaged by soldiers’ boots.
These days the hall pays for itself with regular bookings. Our current project is "Progress Towards 100 Years" for 2023 by holding fundraising events, Saturday night dancing and grant assessments.
