At the first meeting following Uie recent redecoration of the hall the watersiders scarred part of the wall near the entrance to the dress circle, and dirty marks had to be cleaned off the cream paint as far as possible. A name had been carved into the wood of the balustrade. Cost of repairs will be about £3 The town clerk (Mr T. W. M. Ashby) said that if every hirer of the hall did the same amount of damage the. place would soon be in a deplorable condition.
