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 . The first Dallington Parish Council after these elections will take place in the village hall on Tuesday 23rd May.

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.

Are you feeling at a loose end after the excitement of Christmas and New Year’s Eve? Grey skies getting you down? All the more reason to come and join your fellow villagers for this week’s events (and if you know someone who’s on their own or doesn’t see online alerts, do encourage them to come along too.) There will be plenty more going on in Dallington in 2023 so keep an eye out for future announcements.
Please note that the date given in the parish magazine and Messenger (Thursday 5th January) is incorrect. Our apologies if this causes you a diary clash but we hope to see you on Friday.
It’s the 150th anniversary this month of the opening of the hall extension, now the Billiard Room, so you can also take part in a free competition to see how many balls you can pot in 10 minutes (no previous experience needed!)
