Providing community facilities to the people of Starkholmes and Matlock
Category: Uncategorized
Please note that this event is now rescheduled for February 19th 2021.
This event was originally scheduled during last March but had to be cancelled as the country entered into the Covid-19 lockdown.
Matlock Rotary and the Village Hall are now pleased to announce that the same event has been rescheduled for Friday, October 23rd. Details below.
We are all living in extremely strange times indeed at the moment. Since the end of March, Starkholmes Village Hall has, like almost every public venue, had to close to all of our community groups to avoid the spread of Covid-19. Instantaneously our income was eliminated whilst we still have to meet our contractual financial obligations. These costs have been met in part through our own funds but also from receipt of a £500 grant awarded from the County Councils Community Leadership Fund, sponsored by Cllr Sue Burfoot. The award is gratefully received and will allow us to weather this storm until we can re-open to our community and private groups, hopefully in the near future.
The Village Hall committee has had to reluctantly close the Hall until further notice in response to the Coronavirus epidemic.
Our apologies to all our users for the inconvenience this will undoubtedly cause, but we hope everyone will recognise the necessity of this step.
The Interactive Fun Quiz Night jointly organised with Matlock Rotary and scheduled for March 27th has been cancelled due to concerns with the current Coronavirus epidemic. Apologies to all concerned – we hope to reschedule it for September.
Please note that this event is now rescheduled for February 19th 2021.
We did it! With significant financial contributions from Derbyshire Dales District Council, Matlock Rotary and Matlock Town Council, Starkholmes Village Hall are pleased to announce that a defibrillator has been bought and installed on the external wall of the hall. It is highly visible from the main road should it be called upon in an emergency.
The Village Hall would like to acknowledge the significant financial contributions we received from Derbyshire Dales District Council, Matlock Rotary and Matlock Town Council.
We would also like to personally thank Emma Mortimer from Derbyshire Dales, Steve Flitter and Steve Wain from Matlock Town Council and Terry Fox and Peter Wigglesworth from Matlock Rotary for attending the unveiling ceremony.
A very Happy Christmas to all our users and guests over the last year. We hope to see you all again in 2020 and to welcome some new visitors then.
Celebrate Christmas this year with the Village Hall. Contact us for tickets.
The Village hall are looking for someone to join us on the committee and take the minutes of the monthly meetings. It doesn’t have to be word for word, just a flavour of what was said. Then it’s a matter of typing it up and emailing it to the committee.
If you can spare a couple of hours on a Sunday evening once a month to help this would be great as the committee is under strength and if we are to keep the village hall going we need help. Also if there any people who would like to join the committee to help run the hall we would like to hear from you. We need new blood and new ideas. It’s a great hall and we are doing well with bookings we just need help please. Thanks for reading.
The village hall now hosts a defibrillator for emergency use.
It is installed in a very clear location on the front wall of the Hall.
