New
Guide Hall
The
Guide Hall in Station Road has served the Girl guiding community in
Burgess Hill for many years, providing a home for Martlets District and
general facilities for all Girl guiding members in the Division but now
needs replacing.
why
build a new Guide Hall?
The
existing hall is 45 years old and although adequate at the moment will
shortly be likely to require major building work such as replacement roof
and rewiring to stay within any new building regulations.
It
is a timber construction, which is becoming increasingly more expensive to
maintain, heat and insure and has inadequate storage facilities (at
present many leaders are forced to store equipment etc. in their own
homes).
what
will it cost?
At
current rates the estimated rebuilding costs will be approximately £200,
000 but the longer it takes to start the higher the cost. Although we are
eligible to apply for grants many have the condition that 25% of the
required sum (£50, 000) must have already been raised. At present any
income to the hall pays only for heating, lighting, insurance and general
maintenance.
what
will the girls get?
For
the cost of a 4 bedroom house a new hall will provide a better and larger
meeting hall, plus a smaller meeting room for quiet activities, improved
kitchen, enlarged storage facilities and office and, of course, toilets.
The hall would be able to offer the necessary facilities for a range of
“sleepovers”. Full consideration has been given to any existing or
future disabled member. These improved facilities would be available to
all members in Burgess Hill and also countywide if appropriate.
