Harmans Cross Resident's Club

Welcome to the Harmans Cross Residents’ Club section of the Village Hall website.

Click on any of the links at the bottom of the page to find out more detailed information.

The Residents’ Club, which is a sub-committee of the Village Hall Management Committee, was set up in February 2008 to provide members and their guests with somewhere in the village where they could meet, enjoy a drink and meet their friends and neighbours in a convivial atmosphere. A small annual membership fee is charged (see ‘Rules’ link below) and members can bring guests. We also provide a bar for other Management Committee and Village Club social and fundraising events (but not for other hirers).

In the old hall we usually opened the bar two or three times a month when the hall was free. We tried to make it as informal and cosy as possible with the addition of spotlights above the bar, a rug and two bar stools in front of it and dimmed lighting above the chairs and tables, but it still felt like an old-style village hall. During that time we obtained a grant (see ‘History’) to buy more suitable bistro tables and more comfortable chairs which are now used for our Club Nights and other events in the new hall and meeting room (the latter being our usual venue).

We provide a range of wines, bitter and lager beer, cider, crisps, peanuts and soft drinks as well as the occasional ‘mixed drink’, e.g. gin & tonic – all at reasonable prices. We meet every Friday, except when the Village Club occasionally holds a dinner or social event in the main hall when we are usually asked to run a bar.

When the new hall opened we held the Club every Friday to assess demand from our members. As a result of its success, the Club now intends to open every Friday during 2011 and beyond. The new hall is so much more attractive to residents that, since we help our reopening night on 23 July 2010, our membership has increased by approximately 20%. To join, please complete the application form from the ‘Rules’ link below and follow the instructions.

We hope you find our pages on this website interesting and useful.
