Piddington Village Hall Projects
Painting
Following the repainting of the outside of the hall in May the Gents toilet was decorated in August 2019.
New inner doors
New inner doors have now been installed, creating a lobby between the outside doors and the main hall. This should make a lot of difference to the temperature inside the hall - and to the heating bill. The next major job is to install the new heating system.
New storage area - completed May 2019
The new storeroom was completed during May. It is now being used to house tables, chairs, indoor bowls equipment, the table tennis table etc.
New kitchen Completed October '18
The Village Hall Management Team are please to report that work on the refurbishment of the kitchen and bar has been completed. This was achieved with the support of a grant for £10,000 from the WREN Landfill Communities Fund. The Committee thank WREN for all their help and advice. A donation of £3000 was also made by The Pantry.

Children's Play Area Refurbishment
There are exciting times ahead for the play area behind the village hall. To find out more, please go to the Children's Play Area page.
Friends of the Village Hall
The PVHMC have started to draw up a contact list of people whom we can contact when we need a little extra help, for example when putting on an event. The idea is that we contact the ‘Friends’ to explain what help is needed, ask who is available and when, then allot specific tasks based on the replies – rather in the way The Pantry volunteer list works at the moment. You need only offer as much time as you can spare – every little helps!
If you are happy to be on the ‘Friends of the Village Hall’ List, please email piddingtonvillagehall@gmail.com.

The Great Switch On
The new lights in the Village Hall were officially switched on at the Pop-Up Pub on 27 May 2016 by older and younger residents, to emphasise that the village hall is for EVERYONE!
Here are some photos taken on the night.

Village Hall grant award

This award was made in connection with an Energy Audit carried out on the Village Hall, which was subsidised by TOE2. The Committee wishes to thank TOE2 and Grundon Waste Management for this funding.

Easyfundraising - an easy way to raise funds for Piddington Village Hall
What is it?
The PVHMC are always trying to think of ways to raise funds not only to maintain the village hall but also to pay for the forthcoming refurbishment and planned additional facilities, such as a new kitchen, more storage space, a more energy-efficient and sustainable heating and lighting system, etc. We will of course continue to put on events that offer something of interest while at the same time generating some much needed income, but it’s difficult to keep asking members of our small community to part with their hard-earned cash.
We think we’ve found a solution. Wouldn’t it be great if you could donate some money to your village hall every time you shop online with well-known companies such as John Lewis, Amazon, Argos, ebay, etc? Or search the web? At no extra cost to yourself and with only one extra click? ‘easyfundraising’ is a free and simple way for UK schools, charities, sports clubs, community groups and other good causes to raise money from everyday online shopping. Supporters register to help a good cause and whenever they shop through the site with any of the 2,700 retailers listed on easyfundraising.org.uk, the retailer gives a small percentage of what’s been spent back to the good cause to say thank you for shopping with them. We have registered Piddington Village Hall on easyfundraising as ‘PIDDINGTON OXON VILLAGE HALL’, and we are asking you to support us by going through the easyfundraising website every time you shop. Read more about the scheme here. |
