NEW! -

Memorial Hall catering facilities now enhanced by installation of a Rangemaster Pro Induction Cooker complete with compatible cookware as a result of support provided by the Harrogate Borough Council Small Grants Scheme.
Test your own cookware with a magnet - if it sticks to the base of your pan then it will work on an induction hob. This equipment was chosen because it is energy efficient, easy to clean and safe to use - but let us know what YOU think!

Full broadband internet access, a public Wi-Fi and a suite of laptops provided with support from the Knabs Ridge Wind Farm Community Fund
