From Committee Room to Community Room
Work is in progress refreshing the Committee room which sits behind the stage. We have cleaned and painted the walls a 'calming cream' so the walls are no longer bright yellow, and we have pealed back the carpet tiles revealing a beautiful wooden floor. We are archiving hall records and sorting through unwanted bits collected over the years. We will be featuring some of our finds in the exhibition in September "Blofield - a living history" where you will be able to get up close to artefacts collected over the decades which form a patchwork of our living history.
We are searching for grants for disability access funding - as this room has stairs either side of the stage. If you know of anyone who can help with this please do get in touch. We are a registered charity and would love to be able to open the room fully to the public. At the moment it is used by Blofield Preschool (behind the scenes) and for our Committee meetings. We plan to create a cosy craft space in the long term - accessible by all.
Main Hall Update in Progress as at 1st April 2026 (not an april fool!)
Professional decorating company WH Decorating Services is currently working on the walls, ceiling and has sanded back the woodwork in the main hall. Community Payback have painted the woodwork in a white undercoat and will be painting the woodwork Soft Sage Green in the coming two weeks.
We have removed the old wiring from around the woodwork, and the low level coat hooks that dropped open have been removed and are being replaced by a Soft Sage Green set of round knobs for 26 small coats to one side of the hall.
