Hall Upgrade
As part of the upgrade of the Hall, the committee obtained a quote to cap the facias. They are in very poor repair, and capping will be a better option than ongoing maintenance and painting.
We have had a very good relationship with the Blackwood Lions Club for a number of years, so we approached them to see if they would be able to assist by donating half of the $1,900 cost. We were delighted when they advised that they would meet the full cost of the project.
They have been very supportive of the Hall, and we continue to assist at the Bargain Centre on Shepherds Hill Road on Saturday mornings.
At a recent Working Bee a watering system was installed by committee members at the front and side of the hall. We planted some shrubs last year, but they struggled through our very dry season. Using a tap timer we hope to keep everything alive, adding to the appearance of the Hall.
Remember to visit the Hall Facebook page. We will be acknowledging the Lions assistance, and you will be kept updated on functions and other happenings at the Hall.
