This newsletter is to provide users of the hall with information on the key activities undertaken by the Woodbury Hall Committee. Users are more than welcome to attend our meetings to help us with our plans and ideas for the future. All opinions and ideas will be welcomed. The dates for the meetings are on the website under ‘Hall Information’.
- Woodbury Community Hall is now part of the Co-op local community fund. So the more you spend at the Co-op, the more we get towards our refurbishment fund!!

New fireproof and blackout curtains have been purchased and fitted improving the look of the hall and keeping it warmer when they are closed. We have recycled the old curtains and hung them on new rails in the ladies toilet.

An information book for hall users is now on the table in the foyer.

We plan to run an Open Day, at some point, so users of the hall can meet and share views etc

We are going through the final stages of planning for the much-needed redecoration of the hall, both inside and out.
