The new Onibury Village Hall committee has spent its first year undertaking investigations on the building to make sure that it meets minimum legal requirements for fire, asbestos and electrics, as well as what to do with the damp and leaks in the stage extension.

We have already raised over £23,000 but following an ECIR for electrical safety investigations, a quote for internal plastering of the stage area and redoing the carpets, we now need to fundraise another £2,500 to get the hall ship shape for the future.
