dedicated to serving the community, with all proceeds supporting
its renovation and sustainability efforts. The project aims to renew
the roof, enhance insulation, and install solar panels to make the
hall more eco-friendly. Recent improvements, opened last year
by Chief Scout Dwayne Fields, include an extension with an
automatic door and lift, making the venue accessible for all.

Cherry Flitcroft, Trustee and Auction Organiser, said “That the Group continues to attract
such generous support from local talent speaks to the strong creative community around
Settle, and the affection people have for the Drill Hall project.”
