Portesham Village Hall
The Corona virus regulations have allowed village halls to open and we are delighted to be able to inform you we will have a staged reopening, in a Covid-19 format, beginning the 14th September.
The main hall's legal allowance, given its size, is for a maximum of 37 persons, seated on chairs at 2 metres distance apart unless living in the same household and 15 persons for those attending exercise classes.
We are beginning by limiting the number of groups in attendance, having the Ron Doble Room, the main toilets and the kitchen as restricted access and only allowing bottled drink to be brought in. The disabled toilet will be available and the Post Office will be open from Thursday 17th September.
Please note: Government regulations require everyone to wear a face covering while in the hall, except when sat, drinking and socially distanced and for those doing exercise classes or similar.
We are following guidance set down by Action with Communities in Rural England, who are working with the relevant Government departments, as per the following:
Information Sheet - Re-opening Village and Community Halls post COVID-19 closure
The Management Committee is continuing to meet
monthly via Zoom and the next meeting is Wednesday
