Max Stevens and David Kershaw are the Masters of Ceremonies for the Martinborough Town Hall centenary celebration.

To mark the occasion a granite plaque has been donated by Robert Milne. Mr Milne has played the bagpipes for the annual ANZAC service held at the Hall for many years. This commemorative plaque, will be unveiled by Mrs Staples and Mr Hayes. There will be tasty finger food made by Providore, liquid refreshments, entertainment from MADCAPS and background music from Shane Cater.

Come along and celebrate this important milestone in the life of the Hall. A modest ticket price is being charged to kick off the massive fundraising required to ensure the Hall will be in good shape for the next 100 years.
