About the hall
In 1984 the West Maldon Residents Association (WMRA) was formed and
they foresaw a need for a Community centre with open space and play
equipment. After many years of campaigning, and fund raising, the
building of the West Maldon Community Centre was finally started in 1993
and opened in September 1994.
The WMRA became the West Maldon Community Association (WMCA) and
continues to manage the centre on a voluntary basis.
In 2002 we had raised sufficient funds to build the much needed Jubilee
lounge extension. During 2003 the centre was extensively refurbished
throughout. Sound absorbing panels were fitted in the main hall to
improve the acoustics and all the seating was replaced. The building is
well maintained and regularly updated, the latest major improvement
being a newly fitted kitchen in August 2009.
The centre is owned by the Maldon District Council but leased to the
WMCA for a peppercorn rent. The WMCA manages and runs the centre on
behalf of the local community. It is our policy to keep prices very
competitive, especially for local clubs and community events.
