The building of the new hall begins today. I say "the building begins", when of course it involves demolition of the old hall first. However, the contractors are here at the church. Parking in the driveway is no more! (Problem No 1 - I'll either have to get on my bike more, which I know is the right thing to do, or find some free parking nearby). Volunteers are needed to help demolish the Dawson Hut tomorrow night contact ali(at)ruthandali.co.uk if you fancy that bit of fun!
It's been a long haul to get to this point, but it's exciting and I'm thankful to be at the start of the physical process.
Good luck with it, I remember the day well when they turned up to demolish the old halls at St Mark's and how slow it seemed at first as they stripped out the old building before bringing in the 'big yellow machine' to start pulling down walls.

Congratulations! At last! We used to dream of the day when we'd have room to do all kind of creative things in St Silas. The hall was always too small. However I do remember when there were over 90 children in the Sunday School. They were all piled into the hall and the Pathfinder Hut.
Great to see something new rising in Park Road. Could you consider a wee recording studio?
Thanks Dave for doing the video podcast this afternoon.
