Village Hall 200 Club

The Village Hall Committee writes …

The 200 Club has been running for some 48 years.  It was started in 1976 to raise funds to help with the upkeep and running of the current Village Hall.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the club for many years as members and collectors.

As the Neighbourhood Plan has successfully had planning permission granted for the building of a new facility, the committee is actively looking ahead to the future and are now considering the future of the 200 Club.

An idea for consideration would be to offer the running of the 200 Club (and funds raised) to another group in the village.

It would be great to find a new home for this fundraising opportunity but in the event that we don’t, we are intending to discontinue the Club at the end of this current cycle (March 2025).

Please contact the committee by email at lw200@lwvillagehall.uk or if you would like to have a chat call Cath Nicholson on 07971 476980.
