We couldn’t have repaired it without the help from DPI - $19,139 Lands,” Mrs Davidson said. Guyra’s War Memorial Hall was the beneficiary of a $19,139 grant from the PRMFP to repair the leaking roof which was causing damage to the building and to fix up damaged floors. Built in the 1920s, this iconic brick and tiled building is one of the oldest memorials in the New England region. Guyra War Memorial Hall Trustee Naomi Davidson said the building had an interesting history. “It housed the town library in the 1950s and it’s full of local war memorabilia and honour boards. It is regularly used by the RSL for remembrance days and other events and local senior citizens use it regularly for meetings and social gatherings. “The Trust is also looking at ways to hire it out more in order to raise funds to pay for maintenance, bills and rates. “We were able to hire it out recently for a wedding and a men’s drumming group hire it occasionally,” she said. The repairs to the roof were done just in time. Mrs Davidson said “the work on the heritage building was carried out by specialist tilers in February; then during winter, we had some of our best snow falls in years.
