Debbie Healy
Vice-Chair
Debbie was Chairperson from 2019-2025, preciously being as the Vice-Chair. She joined the team on 13th April 2017. Even though she lives out of area, Debbie is still passionate and keen to support the Village Hall. Debbie made the decision to step down as Chair at the Annual General Meeting in 2025 but was convinced to stay on as Vice-Chair. Your commitment to Boosbeck Village Hall is appreciated!!
Debbie can always be found with a mic in her hand.
Karen O'Rourke
Booking Secretary
Karen initially joined as a volunteer in 2017, but by 2022, she realised she was doing the job of a committee member so might as well be classed as one. Karen is one of our most committed members at the Hall. She is the first to open up and last to leave. Karen helps run and support regular group bookings and all events that we do.
Unfortunately Karen supports Manchester United.
Lindsey Mays
Funding Officer
Lindsey joined the team in 2022, after a shout out for volunteers and Committee Members at our AGM. Since then Lindsey has been a force in being able to secure us funding for the various different projects and visions we strive for at the Village Hall.
If there's a chance of getting something for the Hall, Lindsey's got it.
Ann Passmore
Treasurer
Ann joined the team in 2025, after a shout out for someone to come on board as our new Treasurer. Although Ann has only recently joined the Committee, she has already made a huge impact.
Welcome on board, Ann!!
Andrew Mays
Committee Member
Andrew joined the team in 2022, after a shout out for volunteers and Committee Members at our AGM. Andrew helps out at events and with a lot of behind the scenes work. Andrew is very friendly when working events, and is never happier than when he is winding up our regulars or staff, especially Wendy.
Robert Burnell
Committee Member
Rob joined the team in 2023, after stepping up at the AGM. Rob was a volunteer and friend of the Village Hall prior to becoming a Committee Member. During a recent redecorating mission, Rob has been heavily involved in this helping with the new upholstery of the chairs with the hard working 'Friends of' group, and painting of main hall.
Kyle Snowdon
Committee Member
Kyle attended the 2025 AGM, and made the decision to join the committee. During this meeting, Kyle brought some ideas to the group of events he would like to see at the Hall. We look forward to working with you!!
Elvis Milkshake
Village Hall Mascot
After a competition was held in 2021 to name our new mascot, Elvis Milkshake was born. The Committee at the time were torn, between Elvis and Milkshake so we decided to join the names together. Since 2021, Elvis tries to attend as many events as he can, he even travelled to the Riverside Stadium to support the Hall.

The Friends of Boosbeck Village Hall are our committed and hard working volunteers who help and support everything we try to achieve at the Hall, whether it is behind the scenes work, working stalls, or attending groups or events, there they are. Recently this group helped with the upholstery of the chairs making them look fresh and warmer, and also helped with the painting of the main hall as part of the redecoration project that we are undertaking.
As always, thank you for your continued support and hard work, it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
