External Noticeboards for Alderholt Village Hall

THE CLIENT

Alderholt Village Hall is used by a wide variety of groups from the Alderholt community and surrounding areas, providing a meeting place and venue for all age groups. At its heart, the facility helps bind together the social fabric of the east-Dorset village.

Careful management over the years has meant that the Hall is now completely self-sustaining. All of the necessary funding, for repairs and event hosting, has come from their active Entertainment Committee who regularly organise fund-raising drives.

THE BRIEF

The client contacted the team here at Creative Solutions looking for us to manufacture and install two post-mounted external notice boards in which to display upcoming events at the village hall.

Our wide range of external notice boards are a great way of advertising shows, exhibitions, and cultural events. The robust, long-lasting boards will be protected in our range of lockable display units. So, any poster or graphics you wish to showcase will be safeguarded from the elements, theft or vandalism, while being perfectly visible to the public behind hardy, shatterproof glazing. 

In addition, we can also furnish your notice board with any branding you desire. For this brief, the client wanted a Welcome to Alderholt Village Hall header sign, complete with Alderholt village crest, installed above the glass doors. We’re also able to fix the notice board to one of our high-quality post options—giving the customer flexibility when it comes to installation. Post-mounted notice boards can be planted in just about any ground surface!

THE SOLUTION

We supplied the client with the first classic external lockable noticeboard. For its contemporary aesthetic and versatility, the client opted for a magnetic board. Now notices and displays can be secured and rearranged with ease.

The A1 landscape notice board was supplied with a pair of traditional posts, with 2600mm root fixings, and powder-coated dark green. The dome header panel was digitally printed in full colour and finished with a matte laminate. The graphics were then applied to the face and trimmed to the edge.

The second traditional external lockable magnetic noticeboard, measuring 1400 by 1050mm, was supplied with a dual door, and, again, powder-coated dark green.

Once again the notice board came with traditional posts with 2600mm root fixings, with the digitally printed and matte laminated dome header panel attached to the face.

The notice boards were installed by our fitting team with the help of a hydraulic breaker to dig the holes. A postmix was then used to secure the posts in position before mounting the notice boards. Job done!
