Use of Hall During term time, the Hall and some of the outbuildings are leased to the Education Department of Derby County Council (DCC), for the Egginton Primary School. Out of school hours the Hall is available to be let to village organisations and others requiring a venue for social or cultural events. A re-development is presently in progress, which will provide a day-time meeting room for the village and a larger Hall facility for hire. For exciting news and background to the re-development of the Memorial Hall click here.

Tenants The tenant of the School House, Mr Mark Gadsby, acts as the caretaker of the Trust’s property and incidentally is the school’s cleaner. He sets out the Hall as hirers require and closes up again at the closure of events. The Post Office has now closed. .History The village hall, more formally known as the Egginton Parish Institute, is owned by a registered charity administered by a board of trustees and a management committee on behalf of the village in perpetuity.  The Institute was set up by a Deed in 1929 after Egginton bought the Memorial Hall and School House from the Every Estate. The purchase is recorded on a ceramic plaque put up in the Millennium year. The memorial inside the hall, is an engraved wooden panel honouring those from the village who served and were killed in the first World War (1914 –1918) and the Second World War (1939 – 1945). Trust The purpose of the Trust, enshrined in the deeds, is to maintain the Hall for the use and pleasure of all the villagers. It is a registered Charity. The nine Trustees (maximum) are responsible for the Trust. One of their number is annually elected as the Chair. (click here to see who is involved) The business of the Trust is overseen by a Management Committee consisting of Trustees and elected members from Egginton. The latter are elected each year in an Annual General Meeting. The Management Committee elects its own Chairman and officers. The responsibilities for the running of the Trust’s property and finances, the planning for future developments and appealing for funds to make these possible is delegated by the Management Committee to sub-Committees. Villagers are always needed to help run the business of the Trust. Joining one of the sub Committees is the best way to do this. If you have an interest and some expertise to lend to the running of your Village Hall please be in touch with any member of the Management Committee. Finance The income of the Trust is derived, in the main, from the rent that the DCC pays for the school. In addition there are the rents from the School House and from the hire of the Hall.
