Proceeds after costs go to our restoration fund ( we're starting work on the water ingress on the North side of the church and roof ) as well as to our two charities for the year : the Manx based charity : Bridge the Gap, and the Manx overseas Charity The Koru Hospital Fund working in Kenya.
Almost every month we have at least one event : be it a concert, a slide show, quiz night, World Bonnag Championship, speaker or music night, it inevitably has a supper and approx 60 people attending. These nights are fun and fundraising, with proceeds going to the ongoing maintenance and restoration of this unique historic building + 10% to our charities for the year.

Our " Dalby Booking Office " is but a grand term for a very amazing family who volunteer to do this out of the kindness of their hearts in amongst the busyness of their own lives...... it'd be good if you could therefore please ring within normal working hours if possible; thanks.
