BOOKS

Second hand books have been placed in the Entrance porch of the hall.

These are for everyone to browse, read and replace or donate your own.

Please note: all book covers are being 'cleaned' as we understand and should anyone wish to add to the box we respectfully ask that you do the same with the safety of the future reader in mind.

We will take this opportunity to say THANK YOU

to those who instigated this facility, it was a grand gesture and seems to be well received by the locality.

RECENT INTENTIONS and THEIR PROGRESS

PLEASE SEE BELOW an update of our dedication to fulfil our promises to our users

As we are all aware the threat of the Corona Virus is dictating the way we live our lives, at least for the forseeable future. The effects of this are wide and varied and we all must hope that the situation can be resolved speedily, especially if this will minimise the sad losses of life we are experiencing.

The members of the committee here at Little Waltham Memorial Hall wish that everyone will stay safe and will get through this awful time.

Our reaction to the government call to close our venue was swiftly carried out and hope that, by doing so, we have contributed in helping to prevent the spread of this calous virus.

As we are now confident that you, our hirers and users, can once again be safe in this public meeting place, we have opened once again. We are obviously keeping a very close watch on all developments in this respect and will take the lead from our Government as to ny directions we receive.

In the meantime, we have, within the confines of social distancing, made progress with small improvements and other aspects. We hope these will benefit the hall and our users. Trying to make the most of the 'down time' we have now completed the following tasks

Re-surfacing work on the Main hall floor - COMPLETED
Lighting improvement in The Elliott Room - COMPLETED
Filling and levelling the rear grassed area - COMPLETED
Improving sineage around the building - COMPLETED
Updating and improving our Internet Wifi facility - COMPLETED
Improving our profile on this Website - COMPLETED AND CONTINUALLY IMPROVING
We have ALSO had a complete lifting and re-laying of the front steps to MINIMISE RISK of TRIP and FALL
We are in the progress of having the REAR WHITE WALLS RE-PAINTED making the exterior cleaner and more welcoming
Internally the TABLE STORAGE has been MADE SAFER
We have INSTALLED FENCING and a NEW GATE at the FIRE EXIT from the ELLIOTT ROOM as a safety measure for when the children of the Pre-School return

We have many more tasks to carry out in the future which we hope will improve the facilities for everyone's benefit. They will be listed as projects on our 'About Us' page on this site. That, however, is also currently one of the tasks to be addressed and will be available in the very near future for you to view.
