We are looking for a new Hall Manager!  If you are interested in this opportunity, all of the details, and an application form, are in the job pack below:

Members of the Alvechurch Village Hall Management Committee, along with Hall Manager Julie Warrender and outgoing housekeeping Maura Williams, gathered outside the Hall at a recent Committee Meeting.

Following a discussion at a recent committee meeting, and the completion of a revised risk assessment, the remaining Covid related precautions at the Hall have been removed.  This primarily relates to the provision of signage and a one way system, and the keeping open of doors.  The risk assessment can be viewed here.

Hand sanitiser remains available, and users are encouraged to continue to use whatever precautions they consider necessary on the basis of their own risk assessment.

The Village Hall is now fully open for new and returning users!  If you haven’t already returned, we hope to see you back soon!

We have revised our Covid-19 risk assessment to take account of the changes to Government guidance.  Whilst many of the restrictions can now be removed (including the prohibition on using the upstairs gents toilet, and on having more that one group in different parts of the Hall at a time), we will maintain the one way system for the time being and hand sanitiser will continue to be available.  We will continue to clean the Hall regularly (thanks to our brilliant cleaner Maura for all of her work), but may no longer do so between every hire.  So please make sure to wipe down surfaces at the end of your hire.

We would ask all regular users who have returned or are returning to please update their risk assessments for use of the Hall and forward them to the Hall Manager.

Sadly, we have been notified that a few regular users will not be returning.  We will miss them.  But this does open up space for new groups to use the Hall, so if you have been thinking of using us for your regular meeting, activity or event, please do get in touch to check availability.

If you would like to make an inquiry about using the Village Hall, please contact our Hall Manager, Julie Warrender.  For more details, go to our ‘How to book‘ page.

We are very pleased to have been able to reopen for users who are carrying on activities permitted under step 2 of the Government’s roadmap for exiting the lockdown.  Hopefully this is a first step towards a permanent reopening for all users, and we can all begin to put Covid behind us!

If you would like to make an inquiry about using the Village Hall, please contact our Hall Manager, Julie Warrender.  For more details, go to our ‘How to book‘ page.
