ABOUT THE ACTION GROUP and HALL HISTORY

 

Background

 

Until recently Stelling Minnis had no village hall. Local groups used the facilities of neighbouring villages or met in the school room of the old Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. But in 1994 the chapel had to be closed because it was in a dangerous state. Forty villagers who attended an emergency meeting unanimously voted to campaign to save the building, renovate and extend it, to provide a much-needed community centre. This was achieved by an action committee led by the late David Grove.  The splendid new Stelling Minnis Village Hall was opened on 14 July 2001 by the then Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Lord Kingsdown.

 

It includes:

 

·        The main hall

 

·        A large committee room

 

·        An upstairs clubroom

 

·        State-of-the-art toilets

 

·        Well-equipped kitchen and storage facilities.

 

It is administered by a Management Committee
