EP005 (Part 2/4): Renovating Stretford Public Hall with Kate McGeevor and Simon Borkin - Part 2: Renovating the hall and growing the organisation

In the episode 005 of the High Point podcast, we had the pleasure to visit Kate McGeevor and Simon Borkin at Stretford Public Hall (within Greater Manchester, United Kingdom) to tell us about the story of buying and renovating the place.

In Part 2, the discussions were around renovating the hall and growing the organisation (Friends of Stretford Public Hall) including:

  • fixing the roof
  • doing some structural works for the floor of the ballroom
  • improve the heating and the ventilation of the hall
  • working with the heritage specialist
  • working with the conservation architect (Buttress)
  • choosing new colors for the ballroom
  • growing the organisation, i.e. Friends of Stretford Public Hall
  • choosing to be a Community Benefit Society
  • electing the board
  • managing the expectations of the board

New parts and episodes are released every Monday at 8:00 (UK time).

In Part 3, the discussions are around running the hall.
