The village hall, sometimes known as the Institute or Green Hut (!) was built in 1923 as a Miners Welfare Hall for the benefit and enjoyment of the many miners and their families living in the area.

In 1975 the surrounding land, known as the recreation ground, was formally given to the village with responsibility for its management being vested in the Trustees and Committee of the Hall. The committee to be made up of representatives of organizations that use the facilities like the football club, Yorkley School, Viney Hill Church and many others that are no longer in existence like Yorkley Rugby Club.

Since then, the children's play area; skate park and football club changing rooms have been added, providing a prominent focal point to the attractive Yorkley village recreation ground. But time marches on and takes its toll of all it touches including the "Old Green Hut at the top of the hill in Yorkley village" and so the current committee have had to accept that due to the age and condition of the existing building, the best thing would be to raise funds to build a new hall whilst undertaking essential repairs to the existing building enabling its continued use.

Fund raising
We are gearing up to apply for the large grants that are available but a great deal of time and effort is needed to carry the ambitious project through.
 

The car boot and table sales are continuing on the first Saturday of the month. Also in the pipeline are quizzes, an auction, a sponsored bike ride, an open-air concert, a craft fayre and local producers market, dances and Christmas parties.

The Old Green Shed will not last much longer but that does not mean its traditional role has to die with it. A new building rising on the old site will be a permanent reminder to Yorkley not only of its past, but also of how fortunate it is to have such a great setting for its recreation centre and war memorial.

If you support the idea of a new hall with a safe and modern environment to be enjoyed by all of the Community and especially the children who use the play area then please join us. You do not have to join the committee or even give a regular commitment just be available to help out sometimes at our events. Better still, can you come up with new ideas for us to try?
