The special meeting held on 20 May was very well supported with over 80 people present. The meeting had been called by the Trustees of the building and the Chairman opened by explaining that the club building had been given to the village by the Blackwell family in memory of their sons and other men of Chipperfield who had been killed in the first World War. The building was now held in Trust to provide “clubs for the men and youths and women and girls for the benefit…of persons resident in Chipperfield and the neighbourhood”.
The existing tenant was currently having difficulty in running and maintaining the building and ideas were being sought as how to continue. Many suggestions and ideas for the future use of the building were put forward and these were all noted by the Trustees for consideration. The Trustees were very pleased with the amount of interest shown in the clubs future both by individuals and representatives of village organisations and further information will be published in Chipperfield News in due course
