Ryedale Community Buildings Network Meeting
at Weaverthorpe Village Hall, Main Street, Weaverthorpe, YO17 9HA
on Wednesday 19 September 2018
You are invited to a next Ryedale Community Buildings Network Meeting
This is a free networking meeting at Weaverthorpe Village Hall, on Wednesday, 19 September, 2018, 10.00 am – 12 noon, jointly organised by the Weaverthorpe Village Hall Committee and Community First Yorkshire. The address is Main Street, Weaverthorpe, YO17 9HA and the village hall is the last building on the left leaving the village towards Helperthorpe. It is a wooden single storey building with some car parking.
Please follow this link: https://goo.gl/maps/1Yqjj9JYmfq
The hall will be open from 9.30 am for light refreshments and networking, followed by the meeting at 10.00 am and the meeting will close at 12 noon.
The Ryedale Community Building Network (open to all community run venues) is a great opportunity for those involved in running rural community buildings to get together, share their experiences and problems, hear about new resources and policy development, and explore topics of interest in more detail together.
Both Nicky Smith and I will be at the meeting and Nicky is going to talk about how village halls can become more of a hub, with lots of ideas to get you all thinking and funding advice should you wish to develop any of the ideas. Do let me know if you have a topic you would like to feature in the discussion. I will send out the agenda nearer the time.
Please RSVP, the host village hall very kindly donates the hall and provides the refreshments so if we know how many people intend to come that is a great help.
