I am writing on behalf of the Stanton St Quintin parish hall committee to thank Stanton Manor Hotel for their generosity in putting on a fundraising day on Sunday, August 10 and donating £422.80 to our restoration fund.

Following a report by Ian Rea, A1 Planning Services, a refurbishment programme has been drawn up. Local fundraising has already begun and thus the Stanton Manor donation is exceedingly welcome. Our thanks to David Chambers, the manager and Alex Cook, meetings and events manager, who organised the day.

There will be a pub night held at the hall on September 25. All are welcome.

Cara Voelcker, On behalf of the Stanton St Quintin parish hall committee.
