Ruan Minor Village Hall Renovations

Description

Ruan Minor is a tiny village and former parish located on the Lizard peninsula. The population of the parish of Ruan Minor used to centre on the coastal village of Cadgwith, first established by the Romans as a trading port and later a hub of the pilchard fishing industry. Cadgwith remains a picturesque working fishing cove with thatched cottages spilling down steep valley sides towards the sea. Ruan Minor Village Hall is used by all sectors of the community as a focal point of village life: Under Fives Playgroup - Four days a week from 3 months to 5 years old; weekly Thursday market providing stall and refreshments and a meeting place for all ages- many elderly attend; fitness classes catering for all age groups including Pilates, Yoga and Keep Fit; meeting place for various organisations; craft Fairs and Book Fairs and an annual Spring Show and Autumn Show; a snooker room provides a place for the young, middle aged and elderly to congregate and take part in the local league; amateur dramatic group put on shows and pantos again involving the whole community and all age groups; monthly quiz, occasional film shows and the facility is used by locals for parties for children and adults for birthdays, anniversaries, wakes and even for weddings and finally as a polling station This tender is for works to be undertaken to futureproof the hall and reduce its operating costs. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
