Heating Project
Thank you to everyone who took time to complete the survey form in the RR. The response rate was 43%. Most responses indicated that the RR needs to be warmer, suggestions being made were; to turn the heating on early before an event or activity, more insulation, e.g. under the floor in the main hall, a redecoration. Many respondents commented on the shabby appearance of the entrance and suggested sprucing this area up with new floor covering and repainting.  The Committee is delighted to report that the project fund has been boosted by a grant of £1,500 from Northumberland County Council.
