Community Association News

The Management Committee of Dalton-le-dale Community Association continue to actively pursue their goal of establishing a new community facility (on the present site of the W.I. Hall) for the benefit of the whole of the parish.

To date, fundraising has been received from:

As of October 2005 the latest grant has been received from the Coalfield Regeneration Trust for £40k fetching the current funding to £162k - a further £80k is still needed for work to start (hopefully in 2007)

Due to our failing to attract major support from the Big Lottery Fund, the committee now plan to build a timber construction on the site which will be appropriate in size, features and facilities but should prove a less costly project than the original.

Work by our architect is now underway and should the essential fundraising be received we hope to see building begin later this year. The present hall, used by the W.I. group, St.Andrews church members and Dalton-le-dale Parish Council also is reguarly used by residents for various functions.

The latest initiative sees a new group of enthusiasts who, with the assistance of Easington District Council Sports personnel, are enjoying weekly Short Mat Bowls activities every Wednesday morning at 10.30am (all welcome!)

All residents/ friends/ interested supporters would be made most welcome to our many social evenings!
