Come along and support the 50th Anniversary of Farnham Lions at their Summer Spectacular in Churt on July 8th 2017. A proportion of the proceeds will be donated to 40 Degreez. In advance, we greatly appreciate this, and look forward to continuing our fantastic partnership.
We have great pleasure in inviting you all to the Grand Opening of the newly refurbished Milky Way Hall at 40 Degreez on Friday October 28th at 10-11.30am.
A potted history of the refurbishment project follows:
Phase One – Redesign and extend kitchen; replace old units with new to increase storage space; install new appliances and fit new work surfaces.
Phase Two – Replaced badly fitting old single glazed window units in the hall with tinted double glazed aluminium surrounded units.
Phase Three – Install a suspended ceiling with insulation above; clad walls with heat retaining and noise reduction cladding; install new LED lighting system; clad walls of two upstairs rooms adjoining the hall; fit new downward flowing fan and new smoke detectors.
It has taken four years to raise sufficient funding for all this work. The project objective was to reduce energy costs; increase rental use and reduce noise to the first floor rooms from the hall. Already we know that the increased kitchen space has allowed greater participation by the young people in learning essential life skills such as healthy eating, cooking and nutritional values. The snuggly fitting new windows have brought 100% positive feedback from users and energy costs have reduced.
The orchestra from Andernach that were in Farnham at the weekend as part of the 25th anniversary of the Farnham Andernach Twinning were at 40Degreez on Saturday for a get together with the twinning association. They were entertained to a superb buffet by Les Hammond and then gave an impromptu concert as their farewell. It was a superb evening and 40Degreez was an ideal setting.
Aaron receiving his certificate for completing the Rotary Youth Leadership Award at High Ashurst from the President of the Rotary Club of Farnham, his sponsor club. Aaron told the club that he had thoroughly enjoyed the week’s residential, had learnt loads and had gained a huge amount of self confidence. His request ” I would love to do it again”!
Judging the thread competition run by White Stuff one of our sponsors for 40Degreez this afternoon. It was very difficult with some superb entries. Some of the clubs at 40Degreez also entered which made a brilliant display. The competition was won by no.59 so I didn’t know the name of the winner! All of them will now go up to White Stuff headquarters to be assembled into a quilt. Here is the winner.
Well done everyone. 40Degreez had three teams of four taking part in the Cyclathon organised by Farnham Rotary Club in aid of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice and FPH Breast Cancer Appeal. The Maltings was really buzzing and it looked as though everyone actually enjoyed it! Looks as though Mike really got stuck in to it!
