A group of volunteers which has been running Ballafesson Hall says its last coffee morning was “emotional”.
Maureen Dadd and Pat Harper say they were “comforted” by the amount of people who turned up for the event yesterday morning (September 28).
The Ballafesson Community Club volunteers believed they had a year – from June – to save the building from closure.
But the Methodist Circuit confirmed the church hall will close officially tomorrow (September 30) to be put up for sale on the open market on October 1.
It previously said it was “surprised and disappointed” to hear the comments made about the closure of Ballafesson Hall saying it had been transparent about processes and timescales.
Harper said the situation was “sad” because the hall has been in the community for “so many years”.
