Heiton Village Hall Newsletter - April 2008

Hall News
Hall Reopening
His Grace the Duke of Roxburghe reopened the hall on Saturday 23rd February. Many local residents and other hall users took the chance to inspect the new facilities and all agreed that the work had been well worth the effort.

Race Night
This first event was a great success with approximately 90 people attending and £1,268 being raised for hall funds. This will enable the committee to purchase equipment for proposed activities

Quilting
Wednesday 7th May at 7.30pm
Are you interested in sewing or quilting?
We are hoping to start a group in the hall. Whether a beginner or accomplished with the needle, why not come along and try your hand. Two hours a week learning or sharing skills as well as having a chat may be just what you need to break up the week.

New Age Kurling
Friday 16th May at 7.30pm.
Adults, come along and try your hand at this fun sport, entry will be free.
Tea, coffee and soft drinks will be available.
If this proves successful then a family night (for all ages) will be held shortly afterwards.
Thereafter it is hoped to set up clubs for adults and children.
