the large kitchen has been refurbished and redecorated; the lighting has been modernised and the equipment has been updated and new items introduced;
the function suite has been redecorated, all lighting and seating has been renewed, more tables have been added and the suite now caters for upwards of eighty persons; two rooms are available for use along with the suite and can provide space for a bar when an occasional licence is obtained from the Licencing Board;
the toilet amenity has been re-furbished and redecorated.
ornamental galvanised grills are being installed over the line of windows on the secluded side of the building to provide fixed security for the building. The exterior of the building has been illuminated which provides safe access from the car park and for the supervision of children when families use the hall.
