GORSLEY VILLAGE HALL

It was first decided that Gorsley needed a Village Hall way back at the end of WW11.  The cost of building the hall was met by all kinds of local fundraising events held at local farms, the pub and the school.  In 1948 it was agreed to purchase a plot of land for £100 on which the hall would be built.  It was a further 9 years before the purchase was complete and a further 6 years before work began.  The village hall eas eventually finished and officially opened on July 18th 1964 with an extension being completed in 1993. The Committee would like to update the building.  
The hall is currently used by sports groups such as Karate, Yoga and Pilates.  It also provides accommodation for meetings and parties. The roof consists of asbestos sheets which have to be removed by specialists, and replaced with Kingspan insulated panels and associated  soffits, gutters and downpipes.   We would also like to install solar panels.
