Twice a year the hall committee organise a tidy up for the village hall, both inside & out. After most events the hall gets a sweep round & a tidy, but on these occasions we tend to go to town & spruce the place up. This being the Spring clean up makes it looks good for all our summer visitors, who tend to photograph the detail in the buildings at this end of the village.Nine of us turned out this year which was a bit lower than normal, but it is a beautiful day & some may have gone off for the week leading up to Easter. As you arrive you are greeted by a table with a list of jobs required to be done & you just pick what you fancy. I, being the nosey one, picked cleaning out cupboards, obviously you never know what is at the back of cupboards, hidden away.
Some of the other jobs can be seen in the photos.
Firstly Rami picked cleaning windows, hid his face for the shot, such a shy person. 🙂
Alistair & Neil on tidying the car park & entrance.
Ron swept leaves & cleared up down the side of the hall.
Donald (walking through the next shot) along with Eric loaded a trailer full of rubbish & cleared up the boiler room.
Elspeth cleaned all the chairs & benches, then with my help mopped the whole of the hall floor.
While Heather tidied up the small hall & provided the wonderful spread you can see in the last shot. What more could you want for a coffee break than homemade fruit scones, a choice of ( also homemade) raspberry or strawberry jam, followed by yummee flapjack. Made all the hard work worth it & those who didn’t come, you missed out.
I am very busy for the next couple of weeks, so don’t expect much on here from me.
