Autumn News ~ What’s Coming up in December!!

September ~ Snooker Room

In September after the redecoration of the Lysaght Snooker room by Steve & Jan Webb in March, (if you haven’t yet seen please do pop in when you are next visiting it is amazing) it was then agreed by the Management Committee that if we had enough funds available we would have the Snooker table renovated with a new baize and much needed work on the pockets, we were introduced to craftsman Peter James from Exeter who realised when he arrived he had last worked on our Snooker Table himself 25 years ago! He has done an incredible job and all of the members that belong to the Snooker section are extremely pleased with the work he carried out and tell us that it has improved their game immensely! If you would like more information on joining the Snooker section please email Angie lysaght.club@gmail.com

October ~ Jumble Sale

Our thanks to all those that donated and helped out on the day at the annual Lysaght Jumble Sale held in the Lysaght Village Hall in October, for those that don’t already know we raised an incredible £1135.00 on the day. As we have been fortunate to have reached our target for the replacement of the final phase of the roof at the Lysaght Club the Lysaght Management Committee agreed the money raised at the Jumble Sale should be donated to the Blue Anchor Community Toilets, we hope you all agree it was for a very worthwhile community cause.

Roof Fund Update!

We are delighted to announce that we have been successful in our recent application for Lottery funding for an amazing £20,000! This money will now enable us to complete the third and final phase of the roof replacement here at the Lysaght Village Hall & Club, with our sincere thanks once again to Judi Stabb (Trustee) for her efforts in securing the funding needed for this very important final stage. We started this journey in 2018  (Photo of Committee & Members 2018) with the huge task of replacing the whole of the roof of the Lysaght Hall & Club, and  with lots of fundraising events over the last few years along with two previous lottery grants, various donations, and with the support of our membership and the local community we have now finally come to the end of this incredible journey, the Lysaght Village Hall & Club Management Committee send a huge thank you to all those that have volunteered and  supported us over the years and for those that continue to support the Lysaght Village Hall & Club without whom this amazing achievement would not have been possible.

THE 99TH LYSAGHT VILLAGE HALL & CLUB

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

2023 - Another successful year for the Lysaght!

The 99th AGM held on Saturday 23rdMarch  saw a few changes to the Management Committee, we welcomed Geoff Williams as President, and new Management Committee members – Roger Green, Janet Blizzard, Richard Hughes and Jan Hughes, we would like to thank Alexia Coke who has had to step down from the Management Committee as Social Secretary for her work during the last year, we extend our thanks to all of the volunteers on the Management Committee for their continued support, and look forward to a successful 2024.

The Committee Report highlighted another successful year for the Lysaght Village Hall & Club in 2023, with a record membership of 275 members a healthy Bank balance which stands us in good shape for 2024, with the introduction of regular ‘Pop Up Dining’ with Nick & Skye, Richard the Deli buoys and Claire’s Kitchen during 2023 and lots of events planned for 2024.

The second phase of the roof had been completed in the Spring of 2023 plans for the re decoration of the Snooker room for early February were put in place, and we now look forward to the completion of the final phase of the roof replacement during 2024.

Martin Stabb has prepared the specification needed for Tenders to be sent out at the beginning of 2024 with many thanks to Martin for all his hard work and for agreeing to project manage the final phase.
