Both Halls hosted many dances and social events in days gone by and although the Halls are not used to the extent that they were in yesteryear, they still stand in good condition with the Public Hall being used regularly for meetings, social events, training sessions and the annual Naradhan Public School Christmas/Presentation evenings.
