The trustees of Thornham village hall are urging the public to help them win a competition and £12,000 funding by voting online.
They are looking to add to the hall's eco-friendly credentials with solar panels to reduce the carbon footprint.
The bid has been shortlisted in the Marks & Spencer Energy Fund competition, and a spokesman for the trustees said: 'We have a very real chance of winning funding of £12,000 for solar panels for the hall. We are on a shortlist of three. Installing solar panels would enable us to become financially and environmentally sustainable and allow us to become energy self-sufficient. We need about 2,000 votes to win.'
The hall, which was opened by the Queen three years ago, was built in accordance with the latest environmental controls, and underfloor heating ensures a constant temperature is maintained.
