Thriving David Hall Arts Centre, South Petherton roof repairs granted from South Somerset District Council

At the excellent fortnightly session in South Petherton at the Wheatsheaf, I chatted to Tony Charman, who has done so much, along with his huge band of volunteers at the Petherton Arts Trust, to turn around The David Hall, South Petherton and make it the thriving Arts centre it is today.

Tony was jubilant that he had just received grant backing from the South Somerset District Council for essential and desperately needed repairs to the David Hall roof.

The David Hall sounds like a fantastic project based in the community with strong ethical and community values much deserving of support.

Kudos to the local Councillors for backing the David Hall project and a Huge Hopcott High Five to Tony and his helpers for battling on through much adversity to make it all happen.

I must make an effort to go along and see the David Hall, South Petherton. It sounds like a really interesting project with an enormous amount of exciting performances going on regularly.

If you are local to South Petherton which is easily accessible along the A303 from lots of places and are wondering what's on or looking at gig guides for South Somerset or South Petherton, be sure to check out their current July - December 2008 Programme which is packed with tasty morsels such as Martha Tilson + the Woods, Swab's Lazarus, 3 Daft Monkeys, Stackridge and Bella Hardy plus much more.

The David Hall, South Petherton is always looking for volunteers too. If you are interested in actively promoting the Arts and want to join a winning team, The David Hall seems right now the place to be hanging out :-)

Bye for now
