Further Details:

BETLEY & DISTRICT VILLAGE HALL was built in 1964 on land given by the late Charles Fletcher-Twemlow of Doddlespool Hall with a grant from the Department of Education & Science and money from many local fund-raising events, including the first BETLEY BONFIRE.

The Management Committee of the hall is comprised of representatives of organisations in the village regularly using the hall and members elected at the Annual General Meeting in May.

 The hall is a registered charity (No.510948). The committee members are managing trustees, and as such, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Village Hall, in accordance with the trust deed. The majority of England's 8500 village halls are managed in this way.
