Pant Memorial Hall is run on behalf of the whole village by a committee, many of whom are long-serving and wish to retire. The committee is keen to encourage more local residents to become new committee members and is looking to talk to those who might be able to spare a few hours a year to help the hall.
The hall was originally set up with generous donations from local residents as a memorial to those from Pant who gave their lives in the First World War and it houses the village war memorial. This commemorates the Pant dead in both World Wars and a service of remembrance is held in November each year, to which everyone in the village is invited.
The hall can trace its roots back over 100 years and has been a focal point of the village for many years. Over these years, the hall has hosted children’s parties, wedding and other celebration events, weekly classes and courses as well as being the polling station in a number of elections.
Could you help Pant Memorial Hall?
Many Pant residents have played their part in running the hall on behalf of the village and new members are welcome to come and help keep the hall as an asset for the village and its residents.
In March 2017, the role of chair, secretary and treasurer are up for election and the committee is keen to ‘recruit’ new blood to develop the hall and its events further.
The main hall in Pant Memorial Hall is available to hire
Last year, the hall held the first Autumn Bazaar (which is expected to be repeated this year) and people with new ideas and knowledge will be welcomed, as the committee likes to work as a team.
If you are interested in any of the voluntary positions, they are not too onerous and shouldn’t take up too much time.
The chair – runs the three committee meetings per year.
The secretary – notifies members of meetings, keeps minutes of meetings
The treasurer – pays bills and banks takings, as well as keeping accurate financial records for the committee to consider.
