Hallmark 1

The Palmer Hall is proud to announce that it has been awarded Hallmark 1, in recognition of the achievement in managing the hall to a nationally recognised standard. The Hallmark scheme was launched by ACRE on 30 March 2007 and currently operates in 20 counties in England. It promotes the delivery of effective and well-managed village halls through a quality standards scheme which is backed up by a system of peer visitors. The committee were congratulated particularly on the way the Hall is currently being run and the excellent systems it has in place that support its running and upkeep. Sue Crowley, chair of the Committee says, “The officers of our Committee always have the best interests of the Hall at heart and spend invaluable time fund raising in order to continue to make improvements to the Hall for the benefit of all of its users. It is good to have this recognition. We are now working towards the Hallmark 2 award.”

You can see the certificate we were presented on the wall in the main hall, above the bar hatchway.
