News from the Memorial Hall

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HALL As recently reported in The Warbler the planned improvements to the Hall took place in December. Firstly the reverberation panels have been fixed to almost the entire area of the main Hall ceiling. This has resulted in a significant reduction in the ‘echo’ in the Hall leading to much improved acoustics and speech intelligibility generally, especially on occasions such as cinema nights and bingo.
