WHADDON VILLAGE HALL
Updated Sunday 13 May 2018
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. It has recently been refurbished completely The hall and recreation ground is owned by the Parish Council and managed by a Trust on behalf of the village. The hall is available for bookings. There is also a marquee for hire. See the Contact tab for information. The address is 125 Church Street, Whaddon SG8 5RY.-
Charges for hiring the Village Hall will be rising in September. This is the first increase since the refurbished hall was opened in 2014 and the rates are still very favourable. The village rate will be £7 per hour and that for those outside Whaddon £11. This of course only applies to new bookings.

Following our recent request, we are delighted to report that three new Trustees have been elected. Our thanks to Steve Coningsby,Wendy Scott and Bob Strawbridge for offering their time!

The Whaddon Village Hall and Recreation Ground Trust
Since November 2010, the Hall and Recreation Ground have been managed by a Charitable Trust, running these facilities for the village on a long lease from the PC. The Trust's Charity number is 1140851. The Trust held its first meeting on 15 November 2010, at which point its membership was confirmed and officers elected, all to hold office until its first AGM in 2011. Charity law requires a trust such as this to have a majority of members nominated by users of the hall and rec, as well as a number of elected members. The latest report from the Trust is available on the web site here. -
