New Tables for Main Hall

The Hall has taken delivery of new, lightweight folding tables for the main hall. 

Tim Davies, Chair of Trustees said: “Our main hall is used by hundreds of people each week and for a great variety of activities. For some, like bingo, we need all 20 tables set out whilst for others, such as fitness classes or brownies, we need all the tables cleared to create an open space. The old tables were heavy and therefore difficult and time consuming to put out and take down. The new tables are perhaps a third of the weight and very easy to manage for our regular activities and for the many people who hire the hall for parties.“
 
Tessa Harding and Rachel Hall (pictured above) have been running bingo at the hall on Wednesday evenings for many years. Tessa said: “The new tables are very smart and so easy to use. We have had so many positive comments, we are just delighted.”
 
The tables were purchased with support from Trowbridge Area Board and Hilperton Parish Council. 
 
Tim commented: “We are very grateful for the generous support from Trowbridge Area Board and the Parish Council, which made a huge difference. The old tables were still functional and we have donated some to Hilperton Allotment Association and some to Hilperton Scouts.”

Three generations of the Harvey family, on stage for the first time together, were the highlight of a charity concert at the hall on 28th July, 2018. 

The evening was a great success with £665 raised for Dorothy House hospice.  Music played stretched all the way from Gershwin to Pink Floyd and Dire Straits. 

Band leader Steve Harvey said: "We are very grateful to all those who helped out on the night and to the audience for their support and the wonderful reception they gave us. We should also like to thank Hilperton Village Hall Committee for their help which contributed to the sum raised. Personally it was a very special moment for me to perform on stage with my dad, Ray, and daughter, Tasha. We were delighted with the reaction on the night and hope to return to the hall before too long."

There is a gallery of photos from the evening on the hall events page HERE

'Blame Cathy', a seasonal murder mystery comedy  played to packed houses on both nights and raised £850 for village hall funds. 

The play was written by long time collaborator Graham Billing and performed by 'Hilperton Presents ...' under director Pam Turner on Thursday 21st & Friday 22nd December 2017.  

​The cast included many regulars but welcomed a number of new players this year. 

After the one act play reached its finale with the killer unmasked, cast and audience came together to sing carols with Emily Clark the soloist for "Once in Royal ..' and a haunting rendition of 'O Holy Night'. 

More pictures from the night on our gallery page here.

A very big thank you to the cast and production team of 'Hilperton Presents ...' and to all those who attended over the two nights. 

'Hilperton Presents ...' will return for 'Hilperton's Lovely War' in November 2018 to commemorate the end of the First World War.
