Local resident Mark Stoves invited Maltbury to advise on the staging as part of a major refurbishment plan. MD Philip Sparkes made a site visit to view the hall and a Metrodeck package was agreed on which offered a wide range of stage and tiering layouts for the space.
After only a few months the hall is buzzing with activity once again. As Mark Stoves says: "Since purchasing the Metrodeck, the Hall has seen a significant increase in the number and variety of new events and its success has exceeded all expectations."
Then, shortly before Christmas, Jenny Harvie of local Dalry School saw a performance at the hall and liked the look of the staging. She spoke to Mark Stoves and within days the school had taken delivery of its own package of Metrodeck.
Since, the Christmas show has been followed by a packed Stars in their Eyes evening. Says teacher David Brown: "The Maltbury staging was used very stylishly in our production of Stars in your Eyes. Our next production in June is Joseph and in rehearsal we have staging in place at three different heights. It adds a real touch of sophistication to the production."
