14 Rand Aid News Thornhill Manor hall gets an upgrade Facilities at the main hall in Thornhill Manor are on the up-and-up. The some- what inadequate kitchen facilities are being greatly enlarged and modernised and the similarly inadequate number of toilets is also being attended to. These improvements will allow for proper catering facilities and enough toilets to enable the hall to be far better utilised for more upmarket functions and events. In order to do these improvements, it was needed to extend the old kitchen and toilets which are on the first floor alongside the hall. This meant that there was an area below, on the ground floor, that could be developed at relatively small cost. Here, much needed toilets and change rooms have been pro- vided as the location is right alongside the complex’s swimming Bricks and rubble soon to be cleared to make way for gardens pool. A snooker room has also been planned and finial finishes. which will be large enough to cater for a full-sized table. This means that the village enthusiasts will no longer have to travel to sister villages at Inyoni Creek and Elphin Lodge to get a game. Work on the alterations and additions is expected to be complete by mid-month and the transformed hall should be usable by then. Thornhill Manor management, staff and residents wish all those celebrating a merry and blessed Christmas and health and happiness in the New Year.
