Developments

The solar electricity supply is now installed. The coin meters have been removed and replaced with user operated buttons that activate the heating as required. From now all hirers (regular or casual) will no longer have to find coins to feed the meter to pay for the power they use. The heating will be operated by timer switches. Instructions for their use will be sent to all hirers and on display in the Reading Room.

We are pleased to hand on the savings that the solar electricity will give us to our users at this time, while we monitor costs and see how well it works. Later in the year we will need to review our hire charges. We will give plenty of warning of any increase and keep them as low as possible. The essence of our news is that through the generosity of our funders (SSE and the Parish Council) and the hard work of the Trustees it has been possible to continue the programme of improvements to the Reading Room and remove the need for those hiring it to feed the meters.

The London Mountain Film Festival (March 25)

Held in the afternoon and evening of March 14th had us all on the edge of our seats, breathless with admiration (and some fear) as athletes cycled, climbed, swooped and trekked over challenging terrain or water and up and down steep mountains, demonstrating speed and fortitude beyond anything most of us can imagine and sharing their stories. Thank you Jackie and Mary (and others) who put the programme together. And thanks to all of you who came along to lap up the refreshments and join us for these community events which also generate funds for the Reading Room.
