A room for anything
Weddings, wakes, committee nights and the Tuesday quilting circle. Four rooms, hired by the hour.
A hall on the same corner since 1979
Twelve families started it in a rented school gymnasium. It is now four rooms, a commercial kitchen and about eight hundred households, and it is still run by people who live within a mile of the door.
Somewhere to be
The after-school club, the senior circle and the lunch club run every week, and have for thirty years.
Run by the neighborhood
About forty volunteers, one paid caretaker, and accounts read out at the annual meeting every March.
Hire
Four rooms and a kitchen
Weddings, committee nights, classes and wakes. Weekday evenings are the quietest and the cheapest, and the caretaker opens up for every booking.

Eight hundred households already have. Members get a fifth off the room rates, the newsletter through the door four times a year, and a vote at the annual meeting in March.
Read
The quarterly
Four times a year, printed and posted to every member — and kept here afterwards, which is where people go looking when they want to know what the roof cost.

What your giving pays for
Room hire covers the building. Everything else — the after-school club, the transport to the senior circle, the kitchen appeal — is paid for by people who live within a mile of the door.
A receipt is issued for every gift, and a summary for the tax year goes out each January.
