The Stage in the Hall

hjkcleckheatonu3a
  • The Main Body of the Hall is available for use again.
  • HOWEVER – we cannot have access to the STAGE.
  • So in classes were the tutor uses the stage eg – Tai Chi & Line Dancing – the tutor will have to just use the Main Body of the room.
  • Apologies from Kirklees – but this is due to major renovation work that has to be done.
  • A completion date is not yet available and this situation may go on for sometime.
