St Patrick's Community Hall

 

• Hall Newsletter January 2009

 

 

The hall is available for hire for regular events, parties or training purposes.  The current hourly rate is £6 per hour.  Current regular users include St Patrick’s Girl Guides, Dansation Dance Classes and Youth Club every Friday between 7 and 9 pm for the over 10’s. 

The hall is managed by a voluntary committee who obtained a 20 year lease on the building four years ago from the Church of Wales.  The Committee have worked tirelessly over that period to begin the process of modernising the hall to make it fit for the 21^st Century.  Alongside this the Committee also organise music nights, hold an Annual Fete and organise monthly bingo sessions, which are held every third Tuesday of the month. 

In late 2007 Connaught the gas installation company installed a completely new heating system including two new boilers as a community donation, which will ensure that user groups and hirers have a lovely warm welcome. 

In August 2008 the committee were successful in obtaining just under £30,000 in grant money from the Welsh Assembly Government to upgrade the back room into a second meeting room.  A damp course is also being added to the hall for the first time to ensure the building is dry.  Work is being undertaken by True-Build from Pembroke Dock who are currently doing a sterling job for the community. 

The Committee aim to hold an Open Day in the Spring of 2009 to show the community and all the hall’s many supporters what a difference has been made to Pennar’s Community Hall.
