Idea: Public Meeting about Garve Village Hall

I think an actual community discussion in person about what to do with the hall is the next logical step, so I am voting yes to this idea.

Between everyone I've spoken to so far there's been a wide range of opinion on whether to refurbish the existing hall or look at developing purpose-built solution that meets the whole community's needs.

Personally I'm for a purpose-built hall incorporating:

• at least two multi-use rooms (for classes/meetings/events etc.)
• cafe/bar/restaurant (open to public as well as catering for events)
• community garden in the grounds
• plenty of car parking (including spaces for buses)
• potentially a "Men's Shed" attached

I would agree with Blair. The question to me implies a ‘lick of paint’. It could be a great opportunity to address so much more if planned thoroughly. As Blairs’ examples illustrate.  So I’m with Blair, and would vote ‘yes’ on that basis.

Exciting times for Garve

I think it is a good idea to have a meeting to hear what the Community would like from a new or refurbished hall, and hopefully some of the Garve Hall Trustees could attend, to let the Community hear of their vision of the hall in the future. 

No ifs and buts --- let's have a Ladies Shed! We've been thinking of an Arts & Crafts shed but lets have a Ladie's Shed too on the list of Community Needs
