St.
John’s Hall Update
13th
August 2018 - Work
will commence for the building of St John’s Hall, Meadowfield
on August 13th.
Week day Holy Eucharist’s and funerals etc. will continue as normal
and builders/contractors will be informed of the times of these
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
21st
June - Hall contract all signed! Just need charity commission
to approve the date it can be started from.
There is a notice up at the church which has to be there for a other
three weeks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20th June - A topographical survey was carried out
this week if anyone wondered what was going on
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
14th June - Picked up signed lease from the Diocese
today so just PCC to sign and Father Carl , then it goes back to the
solicitors.
The charity commission have asked for her another public notice to be
displayed for a month so that will be going up at the weekend. Means
more delays but has to done to keep everything legal.
Also today there was some tree damage thanks to the storm. Arrangements
have been made to clear it and luckily it didn’t hit the church.
The church is getting a new heating system installed so it is closed
to the public this week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you
to everyone who came to the second AGM. There was a finance report and
annual report was read out.
It is hoped that at the beginning of June the new lease can be signed
and work can start.
The builder
was announced as Quigleys from Esh Wining.
No contract can be signed until the lease is finalised but work can
start straight away once this is done.
In the meantime a board with the picture of the finished hall is to
be made and will be displayed on the site.
We have enough money for the rebuild but fundraising will continue for
landscaping and equipment.
We recently got £2,000 from the Tesco blue tokens scheme and are
in the Co-op member scheme until October.
Also - we are to sell plaques which will go over the bricks at the back
of the hall.
Details on how to buy one will be released nearer the time once the
brickwork is complete.
Thank you for all the support over the last four years since the fire.
