Tipperary village's annual field day sees public liability costs increase by 200%

GRANGE NOTES:

Grange Community Council are lodging an appeal to raise funds for necessary repairs to Grange Community Hall. 

A considerable and unexpected problem has arisen with regards to the roof of the hall. 

Felt, timbers and slates will have to be replaced, this issue came to light when new fascia and gutters were being replaced the monies raised during the Annual Field Evening defrayed the yearly cost of keeping the hall open, these costs are necessary and substantial and they include, the insurance, public liability which has increased by 200%, accountancy and limited company costs, charity regulation and the fire regulation costs as well as heating and lighting.

Grange Community Council are appealing to the community to contribute towards the cost of keeping the hall open and available to the various groups using it on a daily basis.

The community hall is used by young and old and its imperative that this is maintained to a higher standard.

Donations towards the cost of the roof repairs may be given to any committee member and/or at the Field Evening or dropped into Grange National School, any donation big or small will be very much appreciated. 

Community Council committee thank you for your generosity and continued support.
