OUR AIM & PURPOSE
The Samford Farmers Hall is a registered not-for-profit community driven space where patrons can hold events and regular activities. The Hall is managed by a small committee who are invested in the Samford community, they acknowledge the opportunities the Hall offers to many local community groups and to the many local businesses and patrons that choose to use the hall and its facilities.
Our aim is to promote and maintain the relevance and availability of the Hall for the community’s use. The Hall is a historical and important part of Samford Valley’s history and will continue to contribute to the Valley’s character going forward. The committee’s mission is to maintain the Hall in the best possible condition and to promote the Hall’s availability for everyone to use.
THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
Replacing the board of trustees, in 2007 the Samford Farmers Hall Association was formed and this committee continues to oversee the running of the Farmers Hall.
These days, there are six people on the committee. They are passionate about preserving the Hall’s character and ensuring it is well maintained and available for the community to use.
“It’s something to do with the character of the building. There are not a lot that have been maintained in this way anywhere. People have a real affection for it.”
