Chilwell Memorial Institute and Hall are in their Centenary year. We opened in May 1924 and we want to commemorate 100 years in existence by further enhancing our facilities so that our local residents will have more opportunities to enjoy their life in our neighbourhood.
Please contribute to our plans by telling us what improvements you would like to see at “The Hall”.
Suggestions so far:
Tidy up the veranda
- Level and power sand the floor. Stain and varnish.
- Replace the green netting with clear “breathable” polycarbonate.
- Use the space under the veranda better for clean and dry user stores.
- Install new sloping transparent roof for veranda or renovate existing roof and add solar panels or both?
Did you know; we have already converted the old snooker room into a multi-purpose activity room: The Centenary Room.
Could we do for the environment and reduce our carbon impact? We have our own well and looking to use this for watering the grass tennis courts.
Front and rear aspects of the Memorial Hall
- Commission a Great War memorial art installation for the front of the building gable end.
- This could be from the local artist who has done the murals in Beeston.
- This could linked to history of Hall or an image of community and friendship.
Did you know; we now have WiFi across the site for all users.
Major building suggestions
- Build a fully compliant disabled toilet and wash room, which can double-up as a changing room for users.
- Provide a ramped access to the side of the Hall for wheelchair users.
- Improve have user storage facilities for both indoor and outdoor users.
- Improve the gateway to the outdoor area for Tennis, Walking Netball, and Walking Football users with a digital access code system, which could support the LTA Tennis member access.
