Signs Available
Signs For Events In The Village Hall
There are signs available for all functions, free of charge. They
are stored in the main store room inside the hall. Keys for this room
are only held by Deirdre Campbell-Gibson and Dorothy Bark at present,
but the signs required can be put out in the hall passageway, given
prior warning.
- 2 large, one sided “SUMMER FESTIVAL”.
- 1 sandwich board i.e. 2 sided “CHARITY EVENT NOW”. There are 2 blue plastic sand bags behind the hall, just beyond the bins for glass.
- 2 medium one sided “COFFEE MORNING 10.30 – 12” on short poles.
- 1 x 2 sided large CHEF board, painted “VILLAGE HALL - ¼ MILE”. Paper notices wrapped in clear polythene can be pinned to this. 20” x 20” is a good size. Minimum 3” high writing in black on white is the most suitable and visible by drivers rushing past at 50 mph!! This sign can be tied with its wire to the stobs at the road end.
- Small signs with short posts (PLEASE only hammer the post, not the sign) include:-

2 x “TODAY”
2 x “TOMORROW”

Please take signs down immediately after the event and either put
them back in the hall or outside the main door if you have no key.
Any further information, or problems, please contact me on 01852
200375. If you give me enough notice I might be persuaded to make you
specials – or, if you are a professional signwriter, please get in
touch!
Please do take advantage of this free means of publicising your events. Happy fundraising!
