#VillageHallsWeek #DoDifferent.

Monday marks the beginning of Village Halls Week a national campaign, shining a spotlight on the contribution England’s 10,000+ village halls make to rural communities. It is an opportunity for hall management committees to celebrate their work and get inspiration from others.

The fifth annual campaign challenges halls to do something different and innovate for the future.

Halls do much to improve life for local residents, often providing the only local space where people gather, combating loneliness, and delivering a wide range of activities and services.

Each week day of Village Halls Week has a different theme, halls are encouraged to share what they are doing or pledge something for the future within each theme. Bishopswood Village Hall will be sharing it’s stories and pledges each day on the Bishopswood Village Website and social media, so visit each day to keep up.

Hello! 

I have recently become a member of our local WI and we wanted to ask a few questions to see if we can encourage more people to join. 

It would be wonderful to hear from you and to know your thoughts on the following: 

1. What day of the week works best for you to join?  We are currently running on a Friday afternoon once a month.
2. Would a summer evening session and a winter afternoon session be practical?  If not please state what would work best (afternoons or early evenings).
3. There have been mummering’s of leaving the WI and branching out as an independent group – would that be of interest to you?
4. Would you be interested in coming along to an introductory session to find out more before joining?

Please write back to: jacquinaomi@gmail.com  You are welcome to add any other comments to help us build a picture of what our local community needs are for the continued future of this group.

Thank you for your input
