Because of the plethora of Bank Holidays around this time of year, we have rearranged our monthly book club meeting so it doesn’t clash with a day off.

The next meeting will be held on Monday 27th April at 6pm.

The book under discussion is The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz.

We look forward to welcoming you at Merryoaks Community Hall.

The June meeting will be held at the regular time - first Monday of the month, 1st June at 6pm.

Merryoaks Community Hall would love to thank all of you who generously donated plants and cakes and those you then came and bought the same plants and cakes and Jenny Ulyatt art cards at our Garden Event held at the Hall today, 18th April.

We saw regular Hall visitors and lots of new faces too, which was great. It was a fantastic success and counting up at the end of the event gave us a total of almost £570!

This wonderful amount will go towards the works in the Community Garden. We hope to see you all again both during the works and when it is complete (might take a while!). The Community Garden will be a wonderful asset for the whole community to use.

Just a reminder that tomorrow 19th April, at the Hall is the Secular Salon at 2pm, when guest speaker Simon Webb relates the story of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, black British composer of the 19th Century.

And next Sunday, 26th April there is the Allergy Aware Community Fair from 12 noon until 3pm.

Merryoaks Community Hall is delighted to announce that the next meeting of the Secular Salon will be held on Sunday 19th April at 2pm.

Guest speaker Simon Webb will relate the remarkable story of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the black British composer who was internationally famous in the 19th Century. His music then fell into relative neglect but has been recently rediscovered and celebrated.

His story offers a fascinating insight into music, race and cultural history in Victorian Britain.

This is a free event to which everyone is welcome and light refreshments will be provided.

Donations towards costs incurred are always welcome.

Merryoaks Community Hall is at Park House Road, Durham, DH1 3QF
