Marston Meysey Village Hall Committee (MMVHA) News
The MMVHA committee has decided to embark on a fund raising exercise to raise funds for the hall roof, which is slowly deteriorating and will have to be retiled in the next few years. As a first venture towards this 'roof fund' the committee have decided to offer the opportunity for villagers to sponsor a flag day; for the payment of £5.00 the hall will fly an appropriate flag to celebrate the subscribers birthday or other important anniversary. We will shortly publicising this venture throughout the village.
Rag-Bag Collections
Villagers will have noticed that the village hall has acquired a collection bin. This has been installed to provide a modest addition to village hall funds. Villagers are invited to deposit old clothing and other textiles, including shoes, hats, bags, belts, curtains, towels and bed linen in the container. These will be collected, from time to time, by the Rag-Bag organisation, for which we will receive a cash donation. Plastic bags for Rag-Bag donations will be available from Hall Committee members.New Flag
The two pictures show our new flag being hoisted, and proudly flying outside the village Hall Marston Meysey. The Union flag is flown to commemorate national and local events; our old one was getting decidedly “tatty”. The flag pictured was kindly donated by a resident.
