Ingram Village Hall Refurbishment 

Our village hall has long been in need of updating and refurbishment. We are at last in a position to improve the fabric of the building now that funding has been secured from a number of sources.  These improvements are :-

• to replace the hall floor with a new sub-structure, full insulation & a new wooden surface  
• to strip off the wall panelling, fully insulate the outside walls & replace the interior surface with part panelling (lower section) & painted plasterboard above 
• to install an Air2Air heat source system & circulation fans with appropriate control timers.   
• to renew the exterior roof & strengthen the underlying structure so solar panels or tiles can be installed which will then produce our own electricity supply & generate income from the excess towards future Hall improvements  

The sources of funding are:

All the above should be completed between January – March 2010 during which time the hall will be closed. The electrical wiring will also be overhauled.

But things get even better!
