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.

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

School of Everything and Village Halls

Posted in
Informal adult learning is good for people. It builds confidence and skills. It brings people together and keeps them mentally and physically active. It reaches out to people who feel learning isn’t for them, especially people from disadvantaged groups. It builds vital bridges into formal learning, training and sustainable employment.

Showing films in Village and Community halls

Posted in

There has been renewed interest in showing films in village and community halls.  What could be better than just strolling down the road to the hall and meeting with friends and neighbours and after the showing being able to share your views on the film you have just seen together.
