Kirkby Fleetham with Fencotes Parish Council

Kirkby Fleetham Village Hall

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year, the celebration of 100 years of village halls has been particularly pertinent. The original funds were given by the Government to support rural communities after the loss of so many in the First World War, followed by the impact of the Spanish

Flu epidemic in 1919/20.

Chairman of Community First Yorkshire Board of Trustees, David Sharp, said: "One hundred years on and Coronavirus has had a massive impact on our local halls and community buildings, with many having to close, or partially close and lose vital funds.

"The hall committees have had to continually keep updated with the ever changing guidance and restrictions, and put new policies and procedures in place for their halls. This has taken its toll on many of our members, so this chance to celebrate the great work that they do, the vitalness of halls to local communities and to showcase the history of the halls is a very welcome opportunity to shout about their importance.”

Members of Kirkby Fleetham Village Hall Committee who are able to meet up on Zoom are ensuring the Village Hall will be ready for your return, including developing plans for activities to bring the community together again. The next meeting will be on February 3. If, at any time, you have ideas and want to help or get involved please contact:

Mike Dillon, Chair, 07713 131980
or Linda Lodge, Secretary, 07775 600452

​

Stay safe everyone 

We hope we can meet up again safely soon

 

 

The Village Hall has a new Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer following the AGM on August 5th.  After 7 years as Chair and Treasurer, Sheila Minto and Jean Morley stood down and new member were voted in.

​

The Village Hall Committee are asking for suggestions for new groups and activities. There may be people in our community who enjoy painting, writing, discussion, or local history, all of which can benefit from regular meetings, informal or structured, that allow people to share their interest.

​

The Committee is particularly keen to hear from people who are interested in setting- up a group and steering its development. This need not be onerous and should be very enjoyable.

​

If you have an idea for a group, whether or not you would be prepared to take a lead, please get in touch.

​

If you’d like to chat about any suggestions or developments, you can call Mike Dillon, Chair of the Village Hall Committee on 

07713 131980 or speak to any Committee member.

Metabolic Effect was founded on the idea that weight loss and fat loss are not the same and is a system that works to help people understand their unique metabolic processes so they can work with their metabolism, not against it.

Circuit Fitness sessions are suitable for all ages/levels of ability as each circuit is individually designed.

Pilates is a class for people of all ages and fitness levels who want to improve their core strength.

Keep Fit & Coffee with Kath is a weekly session for Seniors, offering individually tailored exercise followed by the opportunity to socialise.

Impact of the rule of six

The new rules introduced on September 14 apply to people attending events at the Village Hall.

We need to ensure any activities do not include huddles of more than six people. It does not restrict the overall attendance to six.

We need to continue to apply the social distancing measures to help protect everyone.

​

No private bookings for parties etc can be accepted until further notice.

Further information on Village Hall activities will be published via InfoNetKFF and Social News.

Group leaders know that their responsibilities are to: 

• Retain a list of members attending.

• Remind their members that they should not attend if they feel unwell – whether with COVID-19 symptoms or otherwise.

• If anyone becomes ill while in the hall, they should be taken immediately to the dedicated SAFE PLACE which is the library. Leaders should then inform the Kirkby Fleetham Village Hall Secretary (Linda Lodge 01609 748127) and, if necessary Test & Trace.

• Sanitise equipment before and after use, all surfaces touched (eg door handles, chairs etc). Sanitiser will be provided. Any paper towels / tissues used should be bagged and removed from the hall.
