Payhembury Parish Hall was only opened in 2008 and is a lovely building with a large hall, smaller committee room and fully equipped kitchen. Many regular activities take place there and it is available to hire for all sorts of occasions.
This year will see some changes in the Parish Hall, with greater engagement and use by the community at large, and better use of communications to let people know what is going on there, and what can be done there.
February 2016 will see the establishment of the new Badminton club, pending final agreement of the details at the next Parish Hall Committee meeting on 21 Jan 2016. Please watch the details of how you join, and when we will be having an opening 
event. Kevin Wooff and James Lusby will be coordinating the opening event and membership.
Di and John Somers kindly donated an attractive indoor ‘canopy’ or marquee last year, following its successful use at their daughter’s wedding reception in the Hall. Thanks very much John & Di ! There is now a dynamic action group (in the form of Rick Jones and Fred Brauer) who are finalising design details such that it will be relatively simple and quick to rig for a couple of people. Once this is done we will include the hire of the canopy on the Parish Hall ‘menu’ of options – it really does transform the look and feel of the Hall for social events.
We also have some fantastic events coming up, starting with Burns night on 23rd Jan – always a great one, well done Kirsty!
Please get involved and let’s keep improving and using our already amazing Hall for great events, social and private. Remember, this is a facility that belongs to all Parishioners so don’t be shy about getting involved or making suggestions (new suggestions box is in the kitchen).
All the very best for 2016,
Kevin
