PROJECT BAWDESWELL
At the meeting on 8 March the group had a
preview of the presentation on the future of the village hall planned for 11
March.
Estimates are being
received for refurbishment and installation of the new equipment for the play
area and a proposal will be submitted at the next meeting
The Activities
sub-group reported on their progress and plans for 2008.
The wine &
cheese evening and presentation to the village on 11th March, about
the future of the village hall, attracted a good audience. They were given an
overview of how the survey results have given us a blueprint for a larger hall
and the options for building it. Feedback was sought on three specific issues
(1) where an enlarged hall should be located on the recreation ground, (2) what
style of construction should be used and (3) how ecologically friendly it
should be. This feedback is being collated and will be reported on at the next
meeting.
A lot of work is
being done between meetings and behind the scenes. The next meetings of
the main group are scheduled for Saturdays 12 April and 10 May at 10.00 am in
the Village Hall. Come along and hear all about the various work streams and
share your ideas with us. All are welcome. See our website www.projectbawdeswell.org.uk
for more information.

volunteers to help with the organisation of Project Bawdeswell.
