Plaque unveiling
The Memorial Hall is included in the Historical Society’s ‘purple’ plaque scheme to mark the 50th anniversary of the Society. The plaque was unveiled on Sunday 16th June by Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Tim Bull, and FMH Committee Chair, Rosalind Riley.
The Hall is one of 31 properties and monuments in the centre of the village in the scheme. There is a booklet with details of all of these, as well as a map. It can be bought from the Bell & Jorrocks, or directly from the Historical Society.

Thank you
Thank you all for a wonderful evening opening the refurbished Memorial Hall and unveiling the new Meeting Room, named in memory of the 64 Frittenden residents who served in WWII.
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the event a success, and to Shabba for a truly fab performance.
Huge thanks to everyone who donated and fundraised to make this happen.
I hope you all enjoy using the new-look spaces and facilities, including our top quality kitchen, free internet and performance equipment.
Watch this space for an exciting potential development… Films on the big screen, anyone…?!
Memorial Hall Prize Draw
The Frittenden Memorial Hall Prize Draw subscription for the year 2022/23 are now due.
For anyone who is new to the village this is a little bit of fun each month. Each member has twelve chances to win a cash prize. The greater the numbers of members, the larger that cash prize will be. Half of the monthly proceeds are given away in first, second and third prizes.
The cost is £12.00 for a year’s Subscription and the other half of the proceeds go towards maintaining the Memorial Hall.
I am sure you will all have noticed the refurbishment that has been going on at the hall. Some of you will have had a chance to see for yourselves just how magnificent it now looks. The cost of heating and lighting will obviously be vastly increased this year, so it is, more than ever vital to help offset this extra expense, by getting as many members as possible.
Defibrillator Update
The defibrillator is back in position at the Memorial Hall. Thanks to Securelec for their assistance.
The village has two otther defibrillators – on the outside of the Bell and Jorrocks pub, and at Larchmere care home.
