Well, what a day!
You are a very skilled and supportive community. Thank you to all who entered, organised, loaned things and helped… And we even got some sunshine (as the pictures show. Wendy and Damon were busy with their cameras to capture the day – enjoy 🙂
Results to follow in a day or two, when my figures catch up!

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….

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….
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!
