Since July Ferring Village Hall will still have been closed, however during that time the Government will have issued it’s guidelines for the possible reopening of Village Halls and Community Centres. The Trustees of our Hall will have met to discuss these guidelines and to consider whether it will be safe to reopen our doors once again.

These guidelines are lengthy and demanding and will need careful examination of the contents as to  whether we are in a position to put in place sufficient safety measures to ensure all attending members of the public will be safe from the coronavirus. If and when we open it will be expected that all clubs and societies will also play their part in ensuring all guidelines given out are adhered to, thus ensuring the safety of their members.

The Trustees of Ferring Village hall continue to monitor and assess all available ongoing advice in regard the Covid 19 Pandemic and have been doing so regularly since the hall closed under the lock down with a view to re opening the hall.

We have recently approached many of our key hirers in regards their wishes and thoughts in regards returning to using the village hall and we thank those that responded with many well thought out comments.

At their meeting of the 15th July 2020, the Trustees voted to continue to keep the village hall closed at this time as concerns over safety of users remains strong.

The Trustees sub-committee for reopening the village hall will continue to consult with Government and Airs officials to identify opportunities to reopen the village hall safely and the matter will be reviewed at the Trustees next meeting on the 9th September, after which further updates will be made.

 

Our Booking Secretaries will still be offering a service by email to respond to any questions or future enquiries. We shall continue to update our Website and please also see our Facebook page. 

Keep safe
