"Perfect - Inspiring for pupils" and " ideal for the debating session with pupils"

“I attended a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the Shire Hall earlier in the year and I could not believe the transformation. The fact is I had never been inside the Shire Hall in its pre-refurbishment state, despite living in the area for many years. The Shire Hall is now a touchstone for Monmouth and is a first class facility for the town and for visitors. It has appeal at every level from meeting facilities to exhibition space, for local traders and tourists all tastefully incorporated in a new but traditional form. The Shire Hall is now a first class asset for Monmouth.”

“A decade of careful planning and fund raising by the dedicated team of Shire Hall stewards have provided us with a beautifully restored Georgian Public building complete with historic and cotemporary features required by the discerning public of Monmouth and fully equipped for the requirements of digital age in which we now live . The building forms the centrepiece of the top of town and is an essential resource to be used and hired for a multitude of purposes. A successful public building must be far more than the stone of which it is constructed. It requires a dedicated team of staff focused on clearly defined objectives and driven by a dynamic and resourceful manager. The town is indeed lucky that we have Mike Booth as Shire Hall Manager to steer the building’s course and usage over the next decade or two”.

“I was at the launch, but didn’t get to speak to you. I have a copy of your book. I want to congratulate you on your work. The book is very impressive in all respects – very clear and easy to read and looks beautiful. Great work all round and it will be an asset to the Shire Hall and the visiting public for years to come.”
