A community website for the residents of Dallington in East Sussex
Come and Celebrate
Equipment will be available to use on the day.
Apologies for late posting. The Saturday Library Cafe & Plant Sale was advertised separately and has now taken place. Lots of lovely plants donated by a few good gardeners which helped raise money towards the cost of hall maintenance. As the season is late this year, many people are still waiting to get going with seed sowing and planting, so we will offer further ‘plant & seed tables’ at the next few Saturday morning sessions (first Saturday of each month, 10-12) so please keep an eye open and share what you can.
Remaining events this month:
Happy to announce that normal service has resumed after last month’s Coronation events and multiple bank holidays:

No special events or talks planned for this month, but do get in touch if you would like to suggest something new…..

Due to this month’s Coronation events, there will be NO Library Cafe in the village hall on the following dates:
However, we hope as many villagers as possible will bring a picnic and join in the Coronation Big Lunch with others from our local community at the Sugarloaf Field (Dallington Recreation Ground) on
Sunday 7th May. More details at https://dallington.org.uk/coronation-big-lunch-picnic-sunday-7th-may/
Local Elections Thursday 4th May As usual the village hall will be used as the Polling Station for this year’s local elections. Don’t forget that from now on you’ll need to show photo ID when voting in person. Check the list of acceptable forms of ID at the Government website to make sure that you have what you need. https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-youll-need .

At last week’s Village Hall AGM, all members of the current committee were re-elected. We are delighted that they are all willing to continue but we still have spaces and would warmly welcome new members and/or volunteers to help with various regular small tasks to keep this community space available to all residents. You can find out more in our newsletter published last month.
We are also very pleased to announce that we are one of 37 halls taking part in Rother District Council’s Village Halls Energy Project. Each hall will have a free energy assessment followed by recommendations for ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint – vital to help cope with rising prices. Although some potential actions may be limited by our listed building status, it will provide us with a useful basis for future planning. Find out more about the Village Halls Energy project at their web page Village Halls Energy Project – Rother District Council

Our annual newsletter is published to coincide with Village Halls Week (January 23th -29th) – a national campaign by Action with Communities in Rural England highlighting the contribution that England’s 10,000+ village halls make to rural communities. This year’s focus is on the way that village halls can provide warm, welcoming and inclusive spaces – something that Dallington Old School Village Hall aims to do every week with the community Library Café as well as our other activities. You can view the newsletter here Old School News January 2023 PDF FINAL to find out more about how the hall is run, what we can offer and how local residents can support this community space.
In particular, you are warmly invited to the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 15th February at 7.00 to hear what’s been going on and let us know what else you’d like to see happening at the hall.

The government has announced that Monday 19 September, the date of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s State Funeral, will be a national bank holiday.
Accordingly, Dallington Old School Village Hall will be closed on that date so there will be no Art Club or Library Cafe.
However all other activities and bookings due to take place during the official period of mourning will continue as planned
