Betty Churchouse
Our former meeting room was dedicated to the memory of the late Betty Churchouse (died 2006), whose personal drive and ambition played a significant part in the creation and early development of the hall. In 1985 Betty led a team committed to providing a community hall for the area. Betty was a dedicated and loyal chairman until 2003 when Tom Burr took over the position and she became the first President of the Association.
