Future Plans
The Cordes Hall has been serving the community of Sunninghill for over 100 years. The Trustees and Management Committee are keen to continue to provide this wonderful facility and make major improvements to increase the attractiveness of the Hall for all users.
Essential Remedial Works undertaken since 2014 include repairs to the back wall, sorting out the guttering and a new heating system has been installed. Plus we've upgraded the electrics. We've also repainted the front entrance hall and the lobby to the bar to brighten and freshen the place up.
We have now finished upgrading and improving the toilets. This was a major undertaking for us and would not have been possible without the generous support of the Doris Cowdry Fund and The Hope Trust.
The new floor has been installed, thanks to the support of the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. This provides a clean, smooth and very good floor for exercise classes as well as general use. Our grateful thanks to Brian Finch for project managing this for us, after the fantastic job he did on the toilet refurbishment.
State of the art stage lighting has been installed in 2023, thanks to a grant from the Sunninghill & Ascot Parish Council.
What we want to do after that is:
- Transform the entrance hall into a welcoming space.
- Install a new user friendly kitchen.
- Install electric raised seating - so that it doesn't need a small army to put it up and down and the space is more flexible for all our users.
- And the big one - it may take a few years to get to this - build a new extension at the back of the hall to provide a great atmospheric bar area with extra space above for community groups to use.
