APPLETON Thorn Village Hall is in the running to win a top national award.
The former school has been named one of the top four clubs in the country in Camra’s Club of the Year awards, one of the most respected and well-known club awards in the UK.
The sandstone building is the hub of the community, housing a comfortable bar area, small pool room, garden area and bowling green. Home cooked food is served on a Sunday lunchtime and the function room hosts quizzes, live music and an annual beer festival in October.
Nick Bosley, CAMRA Regional Director for Merseyside and Cheshire said: “Very much at the heart of the community for the village, the hall hosts multiple community events such as pre-school, school of dance, mums and tots, guides, brownies and rainbows, yoga and even a rehearsal room for Vale Royal String Orchestra.”
The four finalists were presented with a commemorative plate at the recent Club Mirror Awards and will have to wait until spring to discover which will be named CAMRA’s Club of the Year.
