The Chair of the Judges, John Perry gave a speechcommending Kings Bromley on its Community spirit.

Centenary of VillageHall
On 11th October a joint event organised by the Village Hall Committee, The SnookerClub and the Historians was held to commemorate the centenary of the Village Hall. On October 15th, 1914, the Hall, thenknown as the Dean Lane Institute, was formally dedicated by the Bishop of Lichfield and opened by the Bishop ofRochester. Tea and cakes were provided by the Village Hall Committee, while the Snooker Club and Historians provideddisplays on the one hundred year history of the club and the Hall. It was through the efforts of the then vicar, theRev. Chilwell, that the Institute was created so it was thought that a framed photograph of him should be on permanentdisplay in the Hall. This was unveiled by Sue Hannam, chair of the Village Hall Committee after which Allan Howard,leader of the Historians, explained why this recognition of The Rev.Chilwell was appropriate at this time.
