haslemere chamber CENTENARY LOOK FOR CHAMBER AWARDS DINNER DANCE! The Haslemere Chamber of Trade and Commerce Annual Business Awards and Dinner Dance will be on Saturday 20th April this year and takes on a brand new innovative look for 2013. For the first time, the Dinner Dance will be held at Haslemere Hall, which celebrates its centenary this year, so the whole event will take on a fabulous ‘Victoriana meets contemporary’ twist! This popular black tie/formal dress social occasion is not just for Chamber members, but their guests and the general public too, and it will involve as many local businesses as possible, in order to highlight and showcase exactly what they do. HASLEMERE HALL – HERE’S TO THE NEXT 100 YEARS! Haslemere Hall, celebrating its Centenary this year, is not really the normal business that you expect to find as a Member of the local Chamber of Commerce - being a charity and local facility. However, in order to be successful, it has to be run as a business. The Hall is owned by the 'people of Haslemere', and is run as a charitable trust with a turnover in excess of £450,000. It receives a regular grant from Waverley of around £3,000 and SCC, Waverley and the Town Council have helped out in the past with extra donations for specific purposes. It became evident a few years ago that the structure of the building was in urgent need of repair - the roof was leaking badly and the window frames were rusted through. A business model was thus evolved to enable the renovations to be mostly self funding. The business plan included a ‘repair fund’ which puts money aside each year to repair and improve the structure of the building. A fine balance has to be kept, however, as the Hall's primary focus is to serve the community. Amateur societies, social groups, etc, cannot afford to pay the full cost of hiring or putting on a show, so these events have to be subsidised by ‘trading activities’ such as the cinema, the sale of refreshments etc. The business model is based on maximising the people coming to the Hall and keeping costs to the minimum. To achieve this, ‘a good value’ approach has been adopted, keeping ticket and bar prices as low as possible, whilst providing up to date entertainment and investing in the latest technology. On the other side of the balance sheet, 30 x R&A HASLEMERE & VILLAGES Following a lively drinks and canapes reception, there will be a delicious three course gourmet dinner provided by top local caterers, together with superb wines sourced by local suppliers. The new Chamber President, John Orr, will then announce the winners of this year’s Business Awards and after the ceremony, party goers can dance the night away to live music from talented local bands. More detailed information on this fun event and how to book will be available shortly from Haslemere Hall – 01428 642161 or www.haslemerehall.co.uk. maintenance has been brought in-house as much as possible, using local suppliers wherever possible. The Hall relies heavily on its wonderful volunteers to keep the wheels turning by manning the bar, sweet counter, coffee bar and ushering, etc, without whom the Hall would find it difficult to survive. In addition, its corporate sponsors provide goods and expertise free of charge and they are fortunate enough to receive help from the Granary Bakery, expertise from Email Jam, Spedo Engineering, who fix things that need mending, excellent legal guidance from a local firm and many other offers of local business assistance. Haslemere Hall is proud to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce. It is also proud to be part of Haslemere and looks forward to giving enjoyment to the community for another 100 years!

Grayshott Folk Club has managed to book The Old Dance School on Saturday 23rd February at 7.30pm at Grayshott Village Hall. They are delighted to announce that this cinematic Folk septet have agreed to include Grayshott Folk Club on their major UK tour. Both BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris and Mike Harding champion this outstanding young band, formed at The Betty Fox School of Ballet in 2006 in Birmingham after many jam parties and sessions together in the cellar there (hence their name!). They draw their influences from the worlds of Classical, Jazz and Folk music. “This is Folk music but not as you know it; one minute rip-roaring, the next beautifully delicate. Duelling fiddles, soaring bass crescendos and foot-stomping grooves. The band's new show draws on three widely applauded studio albums and five years together that have taken them from cowshed rehearsals, to remote lighthouses, to main stage appearances at international festivals." In May 2012, BBC Radio 2 broadcast a Mike Harding interview with Robin and Helen from the band and you can hear this interview as well as samples of their music at www.theolddanceschool.com. Tickets are £12 and can be obtained in advance from Grayshott Books, The Square, Grayshott, Nr Hindhead GU26 6LQ, telephone 01428 604798.
