With thirty years of service between them Mat Bramley (treasurer) and Malcolm Tucker (booking officer) have retired from work with the Conygre Hall and Conygre Trust in Timsbury. Thanking them for all their efforts at the Trust’s AGM, Chairman Martin Kendal emphasised how much the pair had done to create and develop a sense of community in the village.

“For the past eighteen years Mat has always been ready to contribute his expertise and time to ensure that the Trust and the facilities it offers were well up to scratch. Everyone who has used the Hall and Field has benefited from his care and attention to detail”, he said.

“Having handled Hall bookings for the past twelve years, Malcolm has been the face of the Conygre Trust to all those hiring the Hall” Mr Kendal continued. “The helpful and friendly service he has provided has done much to establish its excellent reputation as a venue for meetings, events and parties.

“I am pleased to have the opportunity to thank Mat and Malcolm both for myself and the trustees and on behalf of the village. We all have reason to be grateful for their work and they will be much missed.”
