Friends needed The Memorial Hall needs
. more “friends” to help pay for itsupkeep. ..
Like all charities, it suffers
from having to spread a small amount of money to cover ris
ing utility costs, worsened by an exceptionally cold winter. The Memorial Hall is a village facility which has no fixed fun^ng from any organisation and its upkeep relies on what
is made from bookings and fund-raising. The “Friends” scheme helps to bring in a much-needed boost to the bank account and has raised around £200 thisyear. The annual subscription is
£20 for a family membership and £io for an individual membership. Please post
cheques made payable to Aighton, Bailey and Chaigley
