Unique Selling Points How much do you know about your Hall? Keep an eye on Tullynessle Hall’s Facebook and Instagram to see a series of Unique Selling Points (USPs) that the Hall is proud to provide to its community. Questionnaire There will also be a questionnaire in the run-up to Christmas, which has been designed to give our community the opportunity to share their opinions on what they would like to see at Tullynessle Hall. 50/50 Club What a success this is! Every month there are 3 winners. Recent prizes have been £100/£60 and £40. We have just accepted new members so in the future draws the prize money will be more. Each month half the amount paid in goes to Hall funds and half goes out in prize money. (50/50!). We welcome more members. Contact the Secretary secretary@ tullynesslehall.org if you would like to join. It costs £5 per month per draw number. Blended Meetings Local clubs/organisations continue to benefit from using our blended meetings equipment if some members cannot attend in person. All equipment is provided and help and support will be given. Tully Bus The Tully Bus has been a busy bus in the last few months.

free for you to use. Donations are always welcome, of course. Resilience Hub We are delighted to announce that we have been successful in receiving £20k of funding from the SSEN Resilient Communities Fund. The money has been provided to enable the Hall to develop a Resilience Plan towards becoming a Resilience Hub for our rural neighbours in the event of future incidents like Storm Arwen. We are in the early stages of planning so watch this space. Hiring the Hall The Hall is a busy hall. It is regularly hired out for activities like yoga, boxfit, zumba, bell ringing, gentle exercise classes and old time dancing. Local clubs and organisations use the meeting room, it’s a perfect venue for a party, a ceilidh, funerals and weddings. Blood donors use us as a venue at least twice a year and we love hosting the Tullynesssle Toddler Group. Every village hall needs toddlers!
