Kirkby Fleetham Village Hall & History Room
Village Hall’s new History & Resources Room
Residents and funders joined together on Saturday July 27 to
celebrate the official opening of the new extension at the Village Hall
which houses information and artefacts to support people
researching local history. The room is also used as a resource room for the community, history groups and Village Hall Committee. The main funding came from Tarmac Landfill Communities Fund who
donated £25,000 and Paul Younger, operations manager at Tarmac’s
Killerby Quarry, unveiled a plaque to recognise their contribution. He said: “Tarmac are always willing and able to help great projects like this”
​
Former Chairperson and Treasurer of the Village Hall, Jean Morley who
came up with the original idea and supported the fundraising, cut the
ribbon to open the new room. Jean thanked all those who had helped
provide funds, fundraise and deliver the project. Local fundraising activities raised £9,044 and private donations £2,900. There was also a donation of £3,000 from the Lightsource BP Solar Farm, William Webster Charitable Trust £3,000, Jack Brunton Charitable Trust £2,000; and North Yorkshire Council’s Locality Grant £1,000.
​
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.
