Everybody is welcome at all our public events and activities; you do not have to be a member to join in.
You are also warmly invited to help with the running of the Hall: volunteering is a great way of meeting new people. If you would like to help by contributing some time, even if it is just occasionally - please use the Contact Us page to let us know!
However, there are benefits to becoming a Member (supporter) at CHOYD and it's a great way to contribute to the running costs of the charity. Membership still costs just £15 per year for adults. Children under 18 are free!
Members do enjoy some benefits such as:
Free Wi Fi in the Community Hall;
Preferential drink prices at the bar;
Emails about upcoming events and activities;
Priority bookings and discounted hire fees.
The right to vote and appoint Trustees at the AGM (held annually in June).
The Hall is owned by CHOYD, a Registered Charity (Number 1161047) run by trustees and
supported by other volunteers and a management committee.

Because of restrictions imposed by The Charities Commission, the bar is run by a separate limited company: Eremue Trading Ltd. who donate their surplus profits to the CHOYD charity.
The directors are: Miles Oldershaw and Adrian Evans, regularly supported by Saul Tiffin and Denise Cronin.
We welcome volunteers to help us run the bar and we can provide training and guidance!
You can use the Contact Us form to tell us what you think, or just drop a note into ourpostbox. Best of all, come along to the Hall
at one of our public events and speak to our volunteers, committee members or trustees.
