Village Hall Committee Meetings
The Village Hall Management Committee, now formally a sub-committee of the Parish Council, and which is a charitable trust, meets usually quarterly and is made up of Albourne Parish Council, as trustee of the village hall (up to 5 Parish Councillors appointed at each Annual Parish Council meeting in May), plus up to 4 co-opted members from the wider community. Currently, the Councillors are Di Smith (re-elected to the Chair on 12th May 2026), Suzanne Sawyer, John Spencer, and Dave Robson. There are currently three co-opted members from the wider community, being currently, Eve Gerhold (from the Under 5s users Group), John Parks, and Juliet Truran, both of whom were appointed to the Committee at its meeting on 12th May 2026. [Mick Gratton resigned as a co-opted member in 2023. Former Chairman and Parish Council member, Elaine Makey, stood down from the Committee some time ago, as did the previous Chairman, Ann Higginson, more recently. All appointments are otherwise made/confimed at the first meeting of each municipal year in May.]
Meetings, which are open to the press and public, usually take place in the village hall and the committee welcomes contributions from members of the public as to how the hall can be used to benefit the community and to increase it's benefit to village life. Please do let the Parish Council Clerk - Iain McLean, the Village Hall Bookings Secretary - Sandra Axtell, or any of the Village Hall Committee members know of any ideas that you would like to put forward.
