Clubs and SocietiesWelcome back to our Clubs and Societies page - it’s been a while!This year has seen many changes in how we live our lives and has meant that many localclubs and societies have been unable to meet in their usual way.If you have news on how your club/society is meeting, virtual or otherwise, emaileditor@onedarlington.org.uk and we’ll try and include you in the next issue. In the meantime,if your club is looking for a place to meet up in person, here’s some news for you.Clubs, groups and private parties are all welcometo enjoy the new-look Whessoe Parish Hall.Originally a Nissen hut, the current hall was builtduring the 1980s but had little work done to improve orupdate it until recently. Over the past year the hall hasundergone a full refurbishment with help from SportEngland, National Lottery and the Banks Group andis now wheelchair accessible. Other improvementsinclude new flooring, heating, lighting, sound system,blinds, furniture, improved hall and kitchen facilities,gender neutral toilets and baby change facilities.The hall has a small meeting room and a fullyequipped kitchen making it ideal for parties andcelebrations as well as club meetings that wish to offerrefreshments. It can accommodate about 60 peopleand hire charges start from as little as £8 an hour (forblock bookings). There is free parking and a gardenarea.Conveniently situated on the A167 not far from theWhite Horse pub, it is hoped the hall will become asocial hub for the local community. Adjustments havebeen made to make the venue Covid-safe and plansare already in place to restart the popular quiz nights(23 October). A Christmas lights switch on and familyparty night is planned for 5 December.Photo taken before social distancing startedGroups and clubs are already returning to the hall andnew classes and clubs are starting up. These includeGreat Paws Dog Training, Darlington Dolls DC Squad,Kellen Dance Academy, Darlington Divas Women’sInstitute and more.
