Monks Kirby Village Hall

Here in Monks Kirby, we are extremely proud of our village hall. Over the last few years we have worked hard to raise funds and with the support of volunteers have done incredible work to improve the village hall so it is a warm, welcoming and functional space for our community to use. It has been lovely to see so many locals using the hall for a wide range of private events as well as it hosting classes and groups.

We have a lively and hard working group of volunteers who form our Village Hall Committee and are always keen to welcome new members.

If you are interested in joining the Village Hall Committee or have any ideas for clubs and events please contact any of the committee members listed below or email mkvillagehallbookings@gmail.com

What's On!

Events

Casino night

Dress to impress was the theme and we certainly were not disappointed at our sold out event. The tables were busy all night and Gordon's horse racing a huge hit ! With some big winners, our end of evening auction was a rowdy affair.

Huge thanks to all our volunteers.

Six Nations Rugby

Great to see so many people at our regular showings of the England Six Nations games. Well done to Ireland on a fantastic performance.

Euro Football Championship

We were packed to the rafters with many of us daring to dream! The flags, face paint and a visit from Gareth himself made for a wonderful time at all games.

Fantastic atmosphere with a few tears at the end.

Post Midsummer Fair BBQ

This is the time we say thank you to all of those that help to make the Midsummer Fair such a success. Despite the rain we still managed to BBQ (thank you Ollie) A great chance to reflect on such an important event for Monks Kirby. Thanks to everyone who brought along delicious salads and desserts for us all to enjoy.

Village Hall News

Following on from the refurbishment of our hall we would like to thank the Parish Council for a grant towards some fabulous new tables and chairs. The new chairs are certainly more comfortable than our old plastic ones. Feedback on the new furniture has been really positive.

We would like to say a big thank you to Ali Champness Comley for her hard work and dedication to the village hall committee. We wish her and her family all the best in their new home and are sad to see them leave the village.

Welcome to Debs Woods who is our newest member, we are thrilled she will be joining us and bringing lots of new ideas and enthusiasm.

Thank you to all of those who contribute to the village hall in many ways. whether it's taking care of the garden, putting out the bins, filling the dog bowl, doing repairs, watering the hanging baskets, delivering flyers and many more important tasks. You know who you are and we couldn't do it without you.

Check back here for updates about our one off events through the year.

200 Club

Our Monks Kirby 200 Club is an important and regular source of income for our village hall and we are lucky that it is generally well supported by our local community.

However from time to time we have some numbers that are unsold, so if you don't have a number and would like support our village hall or already have a number but would be happy to have another ..

PLEASE contact any of our committee who will be more than delighted to hear from you.

Subscription to our 200 club only costs £12 per year (£1 a month) Each month we draw out 8 lucky winners who receive cash prices ranging from £5 - £40 . We post the list of winners on the village hall notice board.

Don't delay ... get in touch today, and you could be one of our winners next month !!
