Supported
by the Community Fund
Clun Memorial Hall
and Playing Fields
A registered charity run by
volunteers for the benefit of the community of Clun and the surrounding area.
The hall is situated in sight
of the castle with the Shropshire Hills all around. The grounds are extensive with
play areas and areas to picnic or take a gentle stroll. The main part of the hall
was built in 1976/7 with an extension in 1995. The roof and upper wall cladding was
in a bad state. In June we were awarded a £79,500 Lottery Grant to get the hall
ingood repair. Work commenced on the roof in late September and finsihed at the end
of October. The main hall floor was also in a very poor state. This has now
been replaced although it took three months and meant that the hall was unavailable for
bookings. The floor was finally finished just before Christmas - it looks superb.
Having achieved these two major tasks, we will be undertaking redecorating and making good
those bits of the hall that suffered from our old leaking roof.
The hall has no showers or
changing facilities for sports. This is a drawback as we have an enthusiastic group
of young footballers as well as adults playing tennis and badminton. When
our current refurbishment is complete our next project will be to raise funds for changing
facilities.
Facilities: Large
