Once again the committee of Ashley Memorial Hall was pleased to lend its support to Ashley locals Tom and Judy Green who sponsored this charity event to screen young people for any potential undiagnosed heart conditions. The hall saw approximately 160 young people screened over the weekend. Several cubicles with ECG equipment were set up together with ultrasound equipment and there was a cardiologist on hand to review every screening. There were 10 young people referred for further tests
The weekend was funded from a memorial fund set up by Tom and Judy after their son, Adam, sadly died following an undiagnosed heart condition and this is not the first "CRY"event sponsored by Tom and Judy at the hall and we already have another event pencilled in for 2023
Our thanks to Tom and Judy, The Ashley Young Farmers and all of the many supporters and friends for putting on this screening and helping to save lives and promote and protect cardiac health in the young

Ashley Memorial Hall awarded National Lottery Funding
We are pleased to announce that the Hall has been awarded £10,000 in National Lottery Funding to help put a new flat roof on the building - We have just banked the cheque!
The hall continues to be a busy meeting place and this new roof will ensure that the hall continues to thrive in the future.
With lockdown starting to relax, people are telling us they can’t wait to get back to socialising and getting involved again in some of the regular activities such as Yoga, Babies & Toddler group, Ballroom and Sequence dance lessons, Small dog training, Indoor Bowling, Youth drama group, Badminton and Garden Guild.”
Also, of course, the hall is used for Children’s and Family celebrations, Weddings and Christenings, social evenings and tea dances, events to support good causes, extra space for school productions – in fact anything that involves people getting together
We are really grateful for this funding from the Community Fund and our thanks to all players of the National Lottery.
At our time of need with a badly leaking flat roof and concerns at the cost of replacement, the lottery and its players have come through for us - thank you
As we come out of lockdown we can now get back to a more normal life with opportunities to see friends, enjoy activities together, learn new skills and resume contact in a “real space.”
See you at the hall!

The hall is now preparing to welcome back our hall users from 17th May 2021 following the horrendous last 12 months of the pandemic.
During the last 12 months we have been upgrading and enhancing the appearance of the hall with UPVC covered fascia's and bargeboards and new front doors and a full exterior re-paint.
We have also fully re-decorated the main hall and polished the excellent wooden floor.
We are hopeful that these upgrades will continue into the summer with a new flat roof and roof lights - subject to our grant applications being successful.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the hall!

A fantastic night at the hall with a children's halloween party - organised by Michael Lloyd from the Shropshire Theatre Company to raise funds for the Memorial Hall.
Our thanks to Michael and all of his helpers for such a great evening at the hall.
This was the first time the new hall stage sound and lighting was used and what a great show!
December 2018 - Santa and Olaf visit the hall and a great "christmas time" was had by all who visited. Members of the theatre group gave some stunning performances,
Olaf sang for everyone and then signed autographs and our young visitors helped to decorate the Christmas tree.
There was a disco themed bouncy castle and plenty to eat and drink and a Christmas raffle.
The hall looked fabulous!
Santa arrived and met all our young visitors and presents were everywhere.
The day helped to raise funds for the Theatre company and to help raise funds to enable the hall to purchase a professional stage light and sound system for use by all future users.
A very special thank you to Michael Lloyd and his family and friends and to the members of the theatre group who had given their time and made this day possible - well done!
