Planning to join any new classes this year? Look no further than the Open day Coffee morning at Gargrave Village Hall on Saturday 25th January when representatives from a variety of classes and groups will be in attendance. Information will be readily available for fitness, exercise, art and general social activities. The entire Hall will be open for the viewing of facilities, so an ideal opportunity to have a look around if you are planning to hire any of the rooms for an event. This will also be a good opportunity to view the newly re-furbished and totally self contained Snooker room which has two high standard full sized Snooker tables available to play on with yearly Membership available. Bacon sandwiches, hot buttered teacakes and homemade cakes will be available from 9.30.a.m.

Annual Membership Booklets for the Village Hall will be available to purchase and also tickets for the 2020 Pantomime performance taking place from February 20th to February 22nd.

Almost 2020.

We all hope that everyone had a good Christmas and would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

It is a fairly quiet period at the Village Hall, which comes as some what of a relief. We have recently undertaken quite a major refurbishment of the Snooker rooms, creating a self contained club and an additional meeting room. The work has not been without its hiccups but I think we are on the home straight.

We shall be celebrating the new look club with an Open day Coffee morning on Saturday 25th January. The whole premises will be available to look around and representatives of various user groups, clubs and class leaders will be in attendance to give more information on their respective group. Tickets will also be available for the 2020 Pantomime, Dick Whittington and his cat.

Bacon sandwiches, hot buttered  teacakes and lots of homemade cakes available from 9.30.a.m. until Noon.

Almost Christmas!

Please spare a moment when you visit the event to think about Keith, our Book Fair organiser who sadly died suddenly a few weeks ago. Keith had spent an interesting life, spending some of the time in the Motor Industry which probably nurtured his love for all books related to transport. Keith was an extremely valued member of Gargrave Village Hall Committee and his input was both respected and appreciated. His fellow Book Fair friends along with Village Hall Committee members and volunteers have rallied round and offered help with the Book Fairs which will continue , and we hope will act as a lasting tribute to Keith .
