Short mat bowls

Posted in

Hi everyone, 

This Autumn we are intending to start a Short Mat Bowls evening at Chideock Village Hall. We have been fortunate to have been given some mats and are now starting to get the equipment together. One problem at the moment is that here is a long lead time for ordering new bowls and I wondered if any halls had any bowls that they no longer used and which they would be willing to part with - for a suitable donation of course. 

Many thanks

Paul Ramsden

AGM 2017

This year, we met at Okeford Fitzpaine Village Hall on Saturday 13th May. 15 Representatives from 13 member halls were present + 4 guests and 2 speakers.

After the business of the AGM, we had a presentation from Dorset Energy Solutions on Solar Power and Renewable Energy. Several delegates followed up with enquiries about their own hall’s suitability. The Licensing Officer from West Dorset explained the changes in licensing legislation that affect community venues, particularly sales of alcohol.

DVHA AGM Postponed

Posted in

 I am sorry to have to tell you that we have reluctantly decided to postpone the AGM and Open meeting, due to lack of support. We had potentially the lowest turnout of any AGM in our existence, and it was not deemed fair to ask professional speakers and suppliers to turn out at a weekend for this. We feel it would be better to attach the business of an AGM to an event with wider appeal to Hall members instead.

DVHA AGM 2013 at Litton Cheney

 This year, we will be meeting on Saturday 11th May at the recently-built Community Hall at Litton Cheney – just off the A35 about 8 miles west of Dorchester. We have chosen this very busy new hall so that we can hear from the Chairman of the committee that planned, built and run it.

Contract Opportunity for Meeting and Event Venues

Posted in

Dorset County Council is going out to tender for the provision of meeting rooms and venue hire in Dorset.

The County Council realises that it would be uneconomical for some small voluntary organisations, such as village and community halls, to participate in this electronic tender process, given the infrequent and ad hoc nature of its bookings. However, in order to continue being booked by County Council staff, village and community halls will need to be able to fulfil three criteria in future. These are:

Entertainment Groups in Halls

Posted in

I am Brian Baggott (Ex Moreton Village Hall & DVHA Committee).  Pat, myself and two girls are trying to get together a Theatre/Folk/Entertainment group who could travel around Dorset and put on plays or arrange for professional groups to use Moreton Village Hall. 

Can anyone put me in touch with those village halls who put on Arts entertainment so I can pick their brains on setting up the venture
