Findon Village Hall in Exercise Dogwood - October 2025

Volunteers - we need more and for a number of different roles
Gardening Team
The hall gardens have been lovingly maintained for many years by a team that has been, over the years, shrinking slowly. We are now approaching the point where we really need both reinforcements. If you are interested in this opportunity and want to know more, please contact Mark Robinson at chair@findonvillagehall.net
Maintenance Team
The hall is, believe it or not(!), an endless source of little and not so little, jobs that need to be done. Those that we have to , we outsource to local tradesmen or companies but, wherever we can, we do it ourselves using whoever in our team has the relevant skills. As for the gardens, we need extra capacity to support the rest of us who do what we can. So, if you have reasonable do it yourself skills (or a relevant professional background!!!) and would like to get a bit more practice.... Contact Mark Robinson on : chair@findonvillagehall.net
The Events Team
Film night? Summer Fete?, Race Night? These are the people who make these things, and others, happen. We really need more volunteers to support our events team - there is always plenty to do, a genuinely great team to work alongside and, of course, that warm glow you get for working up a good sweat, incurring minor injuries , staying behind to clear up after everyone else has gone, all for the benefit of the community.... You might even, occasionally, get a free burger! Contact David Gear on events@findonvillagehall.net
Light Lunch
Light Lunch meets once a month on the last Tuesday of the month (except August and December) and provides a 2 course lunch with a choice of soups and puddings followed by tea and coffee. We are regularly serving 40 - 50 people. We have about 20 volunteers who help with cooking and serving the meals but we would welcome new volunteers who enjoy cooking who could help out 2 or 3 times a year!
