VILLAGE HALL NEWS

WE WOULD like to take this opportunity to remind residents of the village that Culter Village Hall receives no financial aid from Aberdeen City Council and we rely on the generosity of other groups and our own fund raising activities to maintain the standard of service and amenity we can offer to user groups.

We endeavour to keep our rental charges as low as possible to benefit all community users, but this means we have nothing left over for repairs and up-grading. By the time you read this we will have held a table top sale, so I would like to thank those who helped with the organisation. I hope we made a substantial sum!!

The hail runs Kindergym classes on Wednesdays throughout the school terms for children aged 18 months to 4 years. We are looking for two people to take over the jobs of leader and assistant. Hours are from 9am till 2.30pm with a break of 2 hours in the middle. Ideally this would suit a young Mum whose children are at school and who would like to earn a little money whilst helping other children learn balance, co-ordination and basic gym skills. No qualification is required other than enthusiasm and a sense of fun! Training will be given by the current leader and assistant, and a training video and hand books are available for interested parties to look through.

If you think you would be interested in doing this, please contact Alison Skinner at the Hall on 734371, or pop into the Hall on any term time Wednesday morning between 9.30am and 11am to see what goes on.

The hail will be closed for Christmas from Saturday 20th December to Sunday 4th January inclusive. Anyone who needs to contact the Hall during that period may leave a message on the answerphone, but please be aware that it will not be dealt with until Monday 5th January 2003.

We wish all our community group users a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Susan Chappell-Smith

President.
