July 2010: HALLMARK Quality Scheme
The Dorset Village and Community Halls Advisory Service is now pleased to be able to offer Hallmark accreditation for village and community halls throughout Dorset.
The scheme provides hall hirers with assurance that the facility they are using is well run in accordance with best practice and it also provides hall management committees with reassurance that they are following established best practice; this could be invaluable in recruiting new trustees to the management committee.
Which of these factors is the biggest issue your hall faces at the present time?

What is the Dorset Halls Network?
The ‘Dorset Halls Network’ is an Internet based support and information system for Dorset’s village and community halls. You can access it at:
Dorset Halls Photograph Gallery
This photograph gallery shows you some of Dorset's diverse village halls. Some were once village schools built in Victorian times and others are very new, build in this millennium. In between halls come in all shapes and sizes and have vastly different characters.
Newsletters
INTRODUCTION:
From time to time we issue a newsletter to all the Dorset Hall Network members primarily to draw attention to new content added to the site in the preceding couple of weeks or so. We also issue updates and notices, especially when there is something particularly important or interesting that we feel halls need to be alerted to.
Promotion Section
INTRODUCTION:
The first of the three objectives of the Dorset Halls Network is to help our halls promote their facility as a venue, to encourage more bookings and to get more visitors to their halls. To this end, this 'Promotions' section has three parts, the Venue Finder, the Activity Finder and the Event Finder.
Information Section Overview
The Dorset Halls Networks aims to provide our affiliated halls to promote their hall to the outside world; access important and relevant information about running halls today; and providing opportunities for hall trustees to share experiences and provide each other with peer support.
