The Village Hall

Whaddon's Village Hall was actually built in the 19th century as the Village School, and became the Village Hall after the school closed in the 1960s. At that time a modern extension was added to the rear of the building.

The hall is owned by the Parish Council on behalf of the village--along with the neighbouring recreation ground--and is managed by the Village Hall Management Committee.

The hall is available for bookings made by those in the village and those outside. Interested parties should contact the bookings secretary, Wendy Paton, on 01223 207703.

The Village Hall Management and Fundraising Committee

This committee deals with most matters concerning the day to day running of the hall. Its chairman has by statute to be a member of the Parish Council, but any villager may apply to join when there is a vacancy. The chairman is presently Nigel Strudwick (01223 207434).

The future of the hall

The hall is presently not in the best state of repair. Discussion has gone on for many years as to how to improve it, and things now seem to be at a turning point. A planning application has been submitted to replace the rear extension, and this may be viewed at the South Cambs web site. Copies of plans are also available on the present site.

Effort is now to be concentrated on schemes to fund these proposals.
