It is lovely to see everyone living life a little more \u2018normal\u2019 with the added masks and sanitisers still in place for some.<\/p>\n<p>During the COVID period we noticed a high rate of vandalism in and around the hall. Our booking secretary highlighted this by writing an article in the What\u2019s On. The owner of <strong>Concept Fire &amp; Security <\/strong>read of our troubles via the What\u2019s On and offered to help, by installing CCTV free of charge. We would like to show our appreciation to our resident Steve whose company <strong>Concept Fire &amp; Safety Solutions Ltd <\/strong>saved us thousands of pounds to protect our hall. Your member of staff pictured, was very knowledgeable, helpful and efficient. Thank you so much for your generosity from everyone at the hall. Should anyone need security or fire support, we would highly recommend: Concept Fire &amp; Security Solutions Ltd, for a most professional, efficient service Telephone: 0800 458 2757. Thank you again Steve and staff.<\/p>\n<p>During the pandemic and with classes closed, we took a financial hit. Although supported with a grant from the Vale, it is the residents and the regular classes who keep the hall alive. Without the fantastic Management Committee and roles that people take in the community, the hall would be handed back to the Landlords and maybe a block of flats or a couple of houses would be built in its place! That would mean no more Playgroup, Dancing, Badminton, Wheelers, parties etc.<\/p>\n<p>The Village Hall is situated on land owned by the Wenvoe Estate, to whom we pay a \u2018peppercorn rent\u2019. This came about in 1918 after World War I had ended, as a gesture of goodwill to those who lost loved ones. The estate allowed the residents to build a hall for their community events with the condition that they take care of its upkeep and manage its costs. The hall as you see it today was rebuilt in 1974 with the Landlords extending the lease. A group of 12 residents adhere to the constitution written by the Landowners and keep the Village Hall operating as a Charitable Management Committee.<\/p>\n<p>All rents paid by hirers pay for the up-keep of the hall along with any fundraising and donations. It\u2019s thanks to the community that we are still able to keep the hall today. If you are interested in helping on the Management Committee then please contact us at wenvoevillagehall@yahoo.co.uk. We have many new residents in the village who we hope will think of continuing the good work that people started over 100 years ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from us all at the hall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.
