Hello World!

Clean Up | Clear Up | Glow Up

At our inaugural meeting on 17 September we looked at what had, and what could be cleared up, cleaned up, and, in hopefully the not too distant future, what could receive a glow up.

Cleaned up & Cleared up since May

• Hallway, toilets, lounge and downstairs kitchen scrubbed within an inch of their lives

• Hallway noticeboards tidied up and kept up to date

• Book Nook - secondhand book stall - set up and running 

• Hallway painted

• Lounge noticeboards removed, walls painted

• Redundant ceiling heater removed

• Ground floor larger space in process of being cleared ahead of clean and paint

Outside gang have helped clear more of our beautiful path to the front door, part cleared the shed of rubbish, made and hung a new gate, weeded and cleared a corner of the graveyard and planted roses there, cleared brambles from graves and cut the hedge by the gate.  The gang meet on Tuesday 10.30am to 12.30pm - all welcome to help and the kettle is always on.

A Thousand Thanks to ...

• Our ongoing Stretch and Tone fitness class with Julia (7pm Wednesdays) and Halifax Historical Dance

• All our volunteers and everyone who has supported one of the fundraising events 

• Bakers and sandwich makers and washer uppers at Rushbearing 

• Martin for making the new gate and Dave for fitting it

• Andy at Dulux Decorating Centre for the paint donation 

Next up

Our very first job is to finish the decorating on the hallway stairs and give the kitchen a lick of paint as well.  We are also going to tackle the ground floor larger space and turn it into a games room with board games, a dart board and a pool table.  

Check out the up coming events in What's On and the Calendar and if you'd like to hire a space have a chat with Ellie ellie.fitzgerald1@outlook.com
