HALL CELEBRATED 90 YEARS IN OUR COMMUNITY - Saturday, March 24th 2012

Yes, 90 years ago the Hall opened its doors to the Errington community - Over the years, the building has been added on to, dug under and renovated in many ways - roofs, stairs, floors, doors, windows and washrooms have all been replaced and changed, but the old building still echoes to the sounds of music, laughter and children playing. To observe this 90th birthday we hosted 2 events, an Old Timers Tea and a 90th ANNIVERSARY CONCERT. Both were well attended and very entertaining. It was great to see so many familiar faces in the Hall again.

If you have any photos or memories of the Hall you'd like to share with us, contact us at ewmhinfo@gmail.com and we'll get something organized.

At the end of the week, camp participants will play for family and friends at a potluck picnic in the Errington Community Park. Fee: only $50 for 5 days from 10:00am to 2:00pm. Supervised lunchtime activities are included in the fee. Lunches are not provided. As of April 25, there are 7 spaces left.

Hall Floor Refinished

After a trial period with an oil based finish on our new floor, we have re-finished the main Hall floor with a hard coat surface - we are hoping it will be more scratch resistant and easier to maintain. We'd like to ask all Hall users to be carefull and not drag chairs and tables about. Thanks
