Rampton Village Hall Reopening from 6th July 2020

The Government has laid out its recovery plans and the re-opening of public buildings is scheduled to take place Monday the 6th July, this includes Rampton Village Hall.

There are lots of measures that need to be put in place to adhere to the Covid 19 restrictions:-

• Minimise contact with individuals who are unwell: Nobody should attend the premises if they have symptoms or are self-isolating due to symptoms in their household.
• Clean your hands often: Sanitiser or soap and water should be provided at entry and exit points, sanitiser and/or running water, soap and paper towels in toilets and kitchens.
• Respiratory hygiene: Everyone needs to be encouraged to avoid touching their mouth, eyes, and nose. Tissues need to be disposed of into a bin, then hands cleaned. A "Catch it, Bin it, Kill it" poster has been put up.
• Regular cleaning of surfaces that are touched frequently: including door handles, handrails, table tops, sinks, toilet areas, kitchen surfaces.
• Maintain social distancing where possible: Social distancing guidelines currently require at least 2 metres (3 steps) to be maintained between individuals and groups of up to 2 households where possible and, where not possible, 1 metre plus other mitigation measures. Bookings can be accepted for events where social distancing can be maintained and contacts below 2m are minimised and transitory.
• At an event, individual household groups are advised not to interact with anyone outside the group they attend with, i.e. in a group no larger than 2 households. For example, if a family quiz is held, people from a group of 2 households may sit at the same table; those from different household groups would need to be seated at tables a minimum of 2m apart, with a total number of 20 people allowed in our hall.

As you can see these measures mean all the large gatherings that we have like Bingo and Whist are not manageable at the moment. Plus particular care is needed to ensure that social distancing is maintained for any persons aged 70 or over or likely to be clinically more vulnerable to COVID-19, including for example keeping a 2m distance around them when going in and out of rooms and ensuring they can access the toilets, kitchen or other confined areas without others being present. For some people, passing another person in a confined space is less risky, but for older people that should be avoided. The Yoga and Pilates teachers are not in a position to come back to the hall and they continue to use online classes. More »

Welcome to Ranskill, a rural village and civil parish of some 2500 people in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, approximately 5 miles north of the market town of Retford.  Ranskill dates back to the Danish invasions of the 9th century and the name derives from 'Ravenskelf' which meant 'shelving knoll or ridge of the raven'.

The village features St Barnabas Church, built in 1878. Also placed in the centre of the village is the Reading Room, built in 1891 by the Gillott family as a library and reading room for residents but which is now a place where snooker, billiards, pool and darts are played.

During the Second World War and until 1975, there was a Royal Ordnance factory for the manufacture of munitions on the outskirts of Ranskill.  The East Coast Main Line railway passes to the east of the village, which originally had its own station but which is now served by Retford and by Doncaster in South Yorkshire to the north.

Although in North Nottinghamshire, Ranskill lies close to the borders with South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire and is within easy reach of Doncaster, Sheffield and Lincoln.  It is ideally located for the coast and for Clumber Park and Sherwood Forest and it isn’t far to the Peak District.

The village has a thriving community of friendly people with a great village pub in the Blue Bell, good facilities, lots of societies and organisations and an annual Village Festival.  All in all, it’s a good place to be!

Parenting courses, family support and toy library. Family support worker may be able to help with form filling. Sensory equipment is used during the play sessions.

COVID-19

In view of the Government's advice to everyone in the UK to stop non-essential contact with other people, avoid social venues and avoid all unnecessary travel, Ranby Village Hall has been closed from Sunday 22nd March 2020.

With the Government's relaxation of lock down measures, we have now decided to provisionally re-open the hall on 1st September.  

However, the capacity of the hall will be reduced to 30 and social distancing will have to be observed both inside and outside the hall.  The kitchen and store room areas will be closed off, so access will only be allowed to the main hall and toilets.

Written guidelines to cover both the hall and hirers' requirements, that must be followed to enable us to open, have been produced.  Hirers will be required to adhere to these guidelines, which can be obtained from the Hall Booking Secretary ( ranbyvhbooking@gmail.com )

Stay alert, stay safe, protect the NHS.

 

Originally known as Ranby Club, the hall was built in 1927 by Sir Albert Bingham, as a sports and social club for use by the residents of Ranby and the surrounding area.  You had to be a member and pay a fee, and over the next 30 years it provided facilities for snooker, darts, bowls and tennis.

In 1960 the hall was given to the village by the estate of Sir Albert Bingham, to be run by a committee.

In 1963 it became a charity and was renamed Ranby Village Hall with the trustees being appointed from local organisations.

By this time the various sports facilities had declined and disappeared and the hall could be hired by any group that wished to hold a function.

By 2010 it was recognised that the building needed considerable work carrying out if it was to continue to provide a service to the community. 

Money was raised, grants obtained, designs agreed and after extensive refurbishment work, one of Ranby’s oldest residents, Mrs Mavis Wollerton, BEM, cut the ribbon to declare Ranby Village Hall "open for business" in May 2017.

Extensive works have been undertaken to ensure the hall can be enjoyed by future generations of local people. The hall is an important focal point for the local community, who use it for a wide variety of activities.

All newcomers very welcome. 1st Tuesday of the month 7pm-8.30pm.

Latest News 

Unfortunately we will not be meeting for the forseeble future due to the coronavirus situation. As soon as we can we will start meeting again.  If you would like notified when this happens leave a message on the contacts page or call 01777 704154.

The Choir has been 'meeting' on zoom to keep singing alive while we cannot be together.  We have produced a Youtube video of us singing virtually as a record of the lockdown. Click link below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWGQp1D6HLc

Singing is fun, sociable and good for your health. If you are looking for something different to do, why not give us a try.  Having a good sing on a Tuesday evening could be just what you need. We are a big friendly group and we make a great noise together, but we don't have the pressure of preparing for performances which you will find in other choir.

 

 

WHO ARE WE?

We are a lively choir for men and women of all ages who want to sing for pleasure. The choir was formed in September 2012 with the aim of providing opportunities for anyone from the local community to sing, regardless of musical experience, age or background and to meet other singers in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

We sing, unaccompanied and in harmony, a wide variety of songs drawn from folk, pop, gospel and world music - in fact anything with a good harmony.  Learning is by listening and repetition using Natural Voice methods www.naturalvoice.net

There is no need to read music and no musical knowledge is required, though if you have some, that’s great. The result is a rich, enthusiastic sound but the emphasis is very much on singing for enjoyment rather than for polished performance.

If you want to sing for enjoyment not performances, give singing a try with us. Approximately 60 people come along each week. No need to be a great singer or to be able to read music and no auditions. Everyhting is taught by ear by an inspiring professional choir leader.

£3.00

Tuesday evenings during school term time. 7.30pm-9.15pm

Meet on a Wednesday Morning from 09.00 - 12.00 at Worksop Cricket Club
