This is the annual forum for trustees (the committee members), helpers, local people and potential hirers’ to discuss how best the hall can cater for the needs of the local community.
There are exciting plans in hand for upgrading the large screen AV system, the arrival of 145Mbps high-speed broadband and an automated online booking system.
And remember, the hall is open for business and bookings are FREE for events prior to 31st March 2022.
Please come along and share the adventure.

Farming in Protected Landscapes Programme
This opens in July 2021 and through the programme farmers and land managers can be supported to carry out projects that:
- support nature recovery
- mitigate the impacts of climate change
- provide opportunities for people to discover, enjoy and understand the landscape and cultural heritage
- support nature-friendly, sustainable farm businesses
This is a programme of funding for one-off projects covering these areas of work, not an agri-environment scheme.
The programme is part of Defra’s Agricultural Transition Plan. It has been developed by Defra with the support of the AONB and National Park staff from across the country.

Cleaning up after your dog!
Unfortunately we have had many complaints about people not cleaning their dog’s mess. There seems to be a serial offender who leaves the mess along Church Lane near the junction of Hoath Hill, leaving the residents to clean this up.
This is really anti-social behaviour and affects all in Mountfield who take a real pride in their village.
Poo bags are cheap and most dog owners (including me) have a couple or three in their pockets and take the mess home to dispose of ourselves.
Please take note and keep Mountfield beautiful.
