Capernwray Hall

Coming soon!

Capernwray Hall — Tue, 21 May 2013 13:28:07 +0000

Well, the new Conference Hall is now in full use, with our Spring Bible School taking place in the main hall, and students having the benefit of the wonderful new rooms underneath.

We officially ‘open’ the new building in less than two weeks, and then move on into our International Staff Conference, and then the Capernwray Holiday season.

Sorry we have not been able to update this blog recently, but there has been lots to do here at ‘The Hall’ so please come back shortly when we will update you with new pictures of the building.

We also intend to use the blog as a place to keep you informed of what is going on here, and once our web camera is back in full operation, and our intrepid photographers are out and about during the holidays, there will once again some informative updates for you to view.

If you aren’t already, then why not subscribe to the blog, and when it updates, you will automatically be informed that something has changed.

See you soon!

The first guests

Capernwray Hall — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 12:45:38 +0000

It has been a great delight to invite our first guests into the new conference hall this week. Last year our Connect holiday was the last group in the old conference hall and this week saw them being the first group to use the new conference hall. The pictures below show how this great new facility is being used to teach people about Jesus.

Thanksgiving

Capernwray Hall — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:44:04 +0000

Last night the staff gathered together to give thanks for the newly completed conference hall. It is just short of one whole year since the last holiday guests left the old conference hall. It has been a year which has seen an old building demolished and a new one constructed but above all else it has enabled us to see God’s great provision. Below are a few photos from last night. We will bring you more photos of the new building as the week progresses.

Putting the pieces together

Capernwray Hall — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:12:05 +0000

Things are really nearing the end in the new conference hall as the final pieces are being put in place. The carpet is being fitted, outside lights for the pathway have been installed, the handrails on the outside stairways and bridge have also been put in place. We are also fitting all the audio and communication equipment as we prepare for the handover in the next few days.

Nearly there…

Capernwray Hall — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:19:24 +0000

There is not long to go now. The video below shows some of the final sections of work being done as the conference hall nears completion. The video starts with the carpet tiles being laid in the back office and the carrying in of the tiles for the main conference hall and the final part of the video shows the new bridge walkway.

Photo update

Capernwray Hall — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 09:11:33 +0000

As the work continues down on the site we thought it would be good to share a photo update of all that is happening. There are a lot of small jobs being finished day by day and it is exciting to think that it is only a matter of weeks until it is completed. As you will be able to see from the pictures the internal doors are being put it, the toilets are in position, the outside gutters are being laid and the final areas of roof are being slated.

Conference Hall Walk-through

Capernwray Hall — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 14:18:35 +0000

As the building work continues steadily towards completion we thought it would be good to show you around the site with a video walk-through. The video starts at the rear end of the building working its way up the side and eventually emerging at the new entrance way. After entering the main doors the video takes us up onto the main stage and into the back offices and finally, after coming back through the main hall, up the stairs and into the viewing area and AV room.

Bridging the gap

Capernwray Hall — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:36:50 +0000

The crane has been back on the site this week. It has been lifting into place the steel framework for the bridge which connects the conference hall to the sports hall pathway. As you will be able to see from the pictures the job was completed very quickly and the team are now constructing the wooden decking which will eventually cover the frame.

The end is in sight

Capernwray Hall — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:03:29 +0000

As we walked around the new conference hall today we could really see that the project is nearing the end. The guys on site are still doing a fantastic job as you will be able from the pictures and it’s great to see the outside steps being finished off and the paving outside the front entrance being laid. The inside is also progressing at a rapid rate. The bedroom fittings are nearly all in place now, the offices are pretty much complete and the floor of the main hall is also being prepared. We cannot wait to see the finishing touches being applied in the next few weeks or so.
