Village Hall Lease - Renewed!
As many of you will know the village hall lease expires next year. The hall was built in 1967, funded and built by the villagers, brick by brick. It has been rent free for the last 55 years, but the lease determined that we had to pass the land AND the hall back to the church at the end of the lease.
The village hall committee have been in negotiations with the church for the last 12 months,. There was a fear the church would not renew the lease and develop the land and build houses and this would leave a gaping hole in our village life with no central village community hub.
We have good news! We have successfully agreed a new 10-year lease, at a rent of £100 per month, with no rent review during this period. Therefore, the hall will remain open and a place for the gentle folk of Langley Vale to gather and enjoy the facilities. We still have work to do - our next major job is to upgrade the electrics which will enable the defibrillator to be fitted to the outside wall.
I want to thank all of the committee members for their continued hard work on the renewal and running the village hall. A special thank you to Sharon Watkinson, who has been invaluable in providing information and paperwork to assist with our negations. Many Thanks
Sean Porter
Chairman
Langley Vale Village Hall Association

Volunteers Day 28th May 2022
From Sean Porter:
Thank you volunteers, the hall is looking great and very modern, just one and a half more sides to go! A big shout out to Debbie, Frances, Jane, Heidi, David and Russ. Your painting was very much appreciated and I hope the beer 🍺 and fizz 🍾 went down well. Sean and The LVVH committee 👍🏻
From Jane Wood:
Following Sean’s post and looking proudly at the difference we have made to our village hall, I have to say I really enjoyed my couple of hours painting! Very sociable and finished off with a nice chat and a glass of fizz, what’s not to like?
We’d love to meet more fellow villagers so look out for the next paint date and come and join us….it’s our hall and all we need to look after it.
One side completed parts of the back and far side started but still more to do .
Please come and help when the request goes out again.
It will be 23 July!

Promoted by Age Concern, Epsom these teas are aimed at encouraging people who might not get out much to enjoy company, chat and tea with others from the community. It is planned that they will take place on the first and third Wednesday of the month.
The first tea was hosted on 20th April by Heidi Potter and Elaine Dunne ably assisted by Juliet Gaule and Malcolm Dunne. The company and tea were enjoyed by those who attended and the talk by the representative of Age Concern about the many types of assistance on offer from this charity was really enlightening.
