Hall’s well

Past committee with the new committee.

Fencourt Hall is in safe hands.

The News recently reported the hall committee was struggling to continue – but 20 people attended this week’s annual meeting.

Graeme Roll and assistants Bas Eikhoudt and Sam Hore will lead a team comprising Grant Calvert, Emma Cooney, Janice Brown, Andrew Cumberpatch, Sarah Casey, Diana Kilbride, Bruce Beer, Craig Pollock, Bob McLocklan and Kath and Chris Dobson.

Outgoing chairman Don Heaslip said the hall was being placed in the new committee’s hands with an “exceptional” bank balance.

Tributes were paid to Don and Heather Heaslip for their long service to the community.
