The Post Office service at Warcop Parish Hall will re-start on a new day for the time being, on Fridays from 1 – 2 pm starting on Friday 17th July. A poster is attached here:
The meeting room and hall will be completely Covid-secure with a Perspex screen, hand sanitiser, social distancing rules and one customer in the room at a time. We look forward to meeting as many customers as possible.
The Trustees of the Parish Hall have agreed to have a limited re-opening of the hall from the week beginning the 13th July. Only a few groups will be able to use the hall at first, such as the Tuesday Drama group, the Friday morning Art class and the Post Office at a new time and day of Friday afternoon, 1-2 pm. The kitchen will not be available initially as Trustees have to ensure that the hall is Covid-safe and all necessary risk assessment have been carried out. We hope to gradually expand the number of users and activities in the coming weeks. No indoor exercise classes are permitted at the moment.
Please note that the Thursday Post Office at Warcop Parish Hall will no longer open during the Coronavirus crisis. Appleby Post Office will remain open.

Thank you to everyone who donated clothing, printer cartridges, bedding etc for our December collection. We had about 110 bags and raised £732, our second highest ever total, so well done to all! This brings our cumulative total to almost £4,000 since we started the collections at the Parish Hall.

Unfortunately, the planned Halloween dance and supper on Saturday 19th October has had to be cancelled because of low ticket sales. We hope that another similar dance will be scheduled some time in the New Year.
We’re sorry about this as it is always a great night with excellent music, lovely food and good company.
Thank you to all who brought their Air Ambulance bags to the hall last weekend for our summer collection. There was a fantastic turnout and the total raised this time was £540. Well done again!
Local residents will be relieved and pleased to hear that Warcop Parish Hall has now taken delivery of 120 brand new chairs which are chrome in colour and have blue cushions and backing. This will ensure that future functions at the hall will be a far more comfortable affair – and especially our monthly Remote Cinema nights!

Some of the old grey plastic chairs have been given to Musgrave Village Hall and Warcop Methodist Chapel. There are about 60 remaining chairs in storage which are available to any local groups who might need them.
Thank you so much to everyone who brought so many bags to the hall for our December bag collection to support the Great North Air Ambulance. They inform us that our bags weighed 690 kilograms which translated into £759 for their charity. This is the highest amount we have ever raised for them so thank you again. We hope many of you also called into the Coffee Morning and had a bacon roll!
Our next collection will be in the summer of 2019, probably in July, so keep some bags handy ready to fill them again!
Well done to everyone who helped to organise a very successful Ladies’ night on Friday 23rd November. There were 22 stallholders and lots of people attended. The total for the evening was a fantastic £649! Thanks to everyone who helped both on the night and also beforehand.
