Charity Auction raises almost £2,000

Thanks to the hard work of our building manager, Esme Jelbert, and to amazing community support, we have raised almost £2,000 at the auction on 29 May 2010 towards our ongoing refurbishment of the building . Thanks also to our honorary auctioneer, Harry Blakeley, for dealing with over 300 items in a lively way.

Auction attendees will have seen the major work being undertaken in the Trevail Room at a cost of many thousands of pounds. The trustees think you will like it when the work is finished.

Art Club Donates Collage of Original Paintings

The Institute was delighted to receive a marvellous collage of original art works by members of the Hayle Art Club - longtime users of our rooms.

The collage contains subjects from the local area in a variety of styles and is now proudly displayed in the newly-refurbished Denis Hollow Room.

Foundation Stones Repainted

It was clearly time to restore the inscriptions on the foundation stones as they were barely readable. You can see the before and after results below.
