Trull Village Memorial Hall
History
Trull Old Village Hall, an old first world war army hut, was bought from Salisbury Plain and erected in the village in 1921 and served the community very well, it was the centre of social activities for many years. Eventually villagers felt that a new hall was needed and thus began many years of fund-raising to provide what we all now know as Trull Memorial Hall.
Trull Memorial Hall was opened in the spring of 1965. Its management committee is made up of representatives of the village organisations who are regular users of the hall, and six elected members. The Memorial Hall was erected in memory of those from the village who gave their lives in the two World Wars. Following much debate in the 1980's over the possibility of enlarging the hall an extension was built, known as the "Pearce Suite" in 1991. This large room is used for Committee Meetings for the hall and Parish Council and other small meetings where the main hall would be too large.
Improvements
The Memorial Hall has undergone several improvements in the last few years which included new toilets with disabled access and baby changing facilities, more external storage with the erection of a metal garage to the side of the building. New front kitchen windows and front doors were installed in 2006 followed in 2008 with a complete new kitchen. This now enables the hall to offer excellent catering facilities. New comfortable conference-style chairs have been purchased and hope to be in use by Spring 2010.
Hall User Groups
The Trull Memorial Hall is now able to cater for social events such as wedding receptions for up to 130 persons with a bar being available in the Pearce Suite.
The Hall Trustees are hoping to further enhance the building with a new heating system with improved insulation in the near future.
