On Monday 12 October, 2015 a small group of community volunteers met at the hall around 9:30 and started to move the various items out of the store room and the main hall.

Most the hall equipment was stored in Campie’s Barn, and East Worlington Primary School found a home for the temporary stage and school activity items.

Special thanks to Bob for the use of his large flatbed trolley which made moving items a lot less strenuous than if the team had had to carry everything.

The tapestry wall hangings were carefully taken from the wall and, courtesy of Jean Smyth, taken round to Town Barton Farm and placed on a bed each for the duration of the building works. They will have a quick wash and brush up to get them ready for returning to the hall in the new year.
