Sorry for the delay, but attached are the draft Minutes from the Working Group meeting on 6th May.
The full draft minutes can be read here
Thank you….
As you might know, one of the Hall’s rear windows is only single glazed – so adds significantly to the heating cost and is very drafty.
Replacing the whole window would be expensive, so we decided to fit secondary glazing (hence the large sheet of perspex on the floor in the hall.) We have all the materials to install this, we have sanded off the old window and primed it, but now it just needs a coat of white gloss before we can do the job,
The problem is that your friendly-local window fixer (Malcolm) is REALLY bad at painting and has a steamboat he needs to get back on Windermere.
So, if you have the time could someone PLEASE volunteer to give the window a coat of paint please, we can provide paint and brushes if needed… nothing fancy, just to preserve the wood… .Thank you …
It would be good to get it done in the next few days, so we can fit the glazing, or there won’t me much room for the coffee morning or other events … Speak to any Committee Member if you need the paint!
Well, while the weather is still somewhat variable, it seems April is shaping up to be an active month at Kaber Village Hall
So, here’s a list of activities we have planned….
| Event | Date | Notes |
| Craft Club | 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th (Tuesdays) | Open to all, an evening of chatter and crafting 6:30pm to 8:30pm, £2:50 per session |
| Coffee Morning | Saturday 20th 10:00 am to 12 Noon | Coffee, Chat and Cakes (usually)! Come and say “Hi!” |
| Domino Drive | Monday 22nd 7:30 pm | Hopefully the first of a regular event – beginners and experts welcome. |
| Family Bingo | Saturday 27th 4:00pm start | LIke it says: “Bingo for Families” The only rule is that children must be accompanied by an adult. ( Note: Unaccompanied Adults are welcome too!). There will be prizes, good company and refreshments. |
If you need to know more contact any Committee member, but do come along and support your Village hall, and have some fun too.
All events are to raise money to maintain and operate the Hall….
We are restarting the regular Coffee Mornings in the Village Hall on the 3rd Saturday of the Month from 10am to 12am. Everyone is welcome, there is no charge (but donations are always nice).
Come and spend a couple of hours with friends and a warm cuppa (and biscuits!)
We’re also looking at events we should organise , so bring your thinking heads too, if you have ideas for events that you think would be good.
An evening to match our wits and enjoy some company & food as we start 2024.
There will be a quiz night (run by Colin & Wendy) with a selection of hot pies and peas to dispel the winter cold. Teams will be from 4-6 people (a table full), a prize of a Hamper for the winning team.
We are setting a limit of 30 places (to help with catering) so please book your places (either speak to a committee member or email booking@kabervh.com). £5/head including quiz, food and drinks.
Book Your Places Now
It being 12 weeks since your new committee & trustees were elected, and, as we get to the end of 2023, it seems a good time to provide a review of this year. Both to remind us of what has been achieved in building a Community Hub in Kaber and, in a “spirit of openness”, to provide as much information as we can on the state of and plans for the Village Hall.
So, please read our year-end report here.
We will be printing copies of this, which you will find in the noticeboards, and we will arrange to deliver a copy to each household.
If you have questions or information, then just speak to one of the Committee.
Happy 2024!
