Our Memorial Hall was built to honour the fallen in two world wars and give thanks to those who returned. It is appropriate therefore that we played our full part in the national celebrations and village activities which were planned for May Day Bank Holiday 2020 - moved to Friday 8th May for the purpose - but which had to be cancelled because of Covid-19.In its place we supported a very successful - Decorate your House in Red, White & Blue and enjoy a picnic in your front Garden” which was organised by local volunteers and received support from the Knabs Rdge Community Fund.The intention now is to repeat this for VJ Day on August 15th 2020 and, on this occasion, funding support will be provided by the Memorial Hall

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!
