    by Marion B, over 8 years ago

    My family has a long connection with MMH. My great grandfather was H.B. Mullard a founding Trustee. My grandparents Herb and Marion Mullard were also involved with the rebuilding after the fire in 1953 as was my father Hope Mullard and many other relatives. My father and mother Beryl ran the picture show for many years. In the last two years I have become interested in the fate of MMH and serve on the MMH Committee. I have been involved in the MMH Heritage Assessment process.

    I am a member of the Southlakes U3a group and am involved with one of their many classes being held at this hall. It has such a wonderful history attached to it. It would be a travesty to see it's removal.

    Help for children with learning difficulties

    by valbadham, over 8 years ago
    My connection with the hall is for the last three and a half years I and 8 other retired volunteers (mostly trained primary teachers) taught local children struggling with reading, spelling and numeracy. This program was available two afternoons a week during school term. Access to this program has meant that parents unable to pay fees for tutoring have been able to get their children much needed individual help. The Lower Hall has been a marvellous room for our purpose. This means that the Hall is still very much a Literary Institute as well as a Memorial Hall.
