The laying of the foundation stone of the Bul1's Creek Hall was celebrated on Monday, January 26, amidst a large gathering of witnesses, Mrs H Clatworthy, who was honoured with this duty, proceeded to lay the stone half-past 3 o'clock. Unfortunately the heaviest of rain fell just about that time.
Rev J J Salmon spoke on behalf of Mrs Clatworthy, and also referred to the difficulty in the way of bringing such an undertaking as the erecting of a hall to a successful issue. Here Mr Usher referred to the circumstances and reason why such an undertaking was set on foot, and also corrected some false rumours that had been afloat. Mr J Stone spoke on the necessity of such a place for the convenience of the residents to hold various meetings in, and that it is not likely there will be any objection to any one so long as they hold themselves responsible for any damage done to the hall, and comply with the regulations.
Mr T Brooks in his speech thought the residents had made a little mistake in not going in for an Institute, and spoke of the advantages of the same. This was not well received, as the people here don't intend to [be] tramelled by the Government in respect to this building. They have not forgotten the way in which they were served by the District Council and Government re the school building.
Mr A Caldwell, the contractor, said a few congratulatory words on the occasion. [Ref: Southern Argus (Port Elliot) 5-2-1885]

On Saturday afternoon, April l6th, a very pretty wedding was celebrated at the Methodist Church, when Miss Nicol, second daughter of Mrs Nicol and the late J Nicol, of Bull's Creek, was married to Mr A F Kitto, of Snowtown.

On Tuesday evening, May 16th, an evening was arranged and held in the local hall, the occasion being the reopening of the hall after renovation. The outside work was done by Messrs Joyce Bros, and Ritchie, of Strathalbyn: the inside painting and decorating by Mr Hunter, of Bull's Creek.
Mr P Usher presided over the gathering, and in his remarks said the hall, was built 49 years ago by the late Mr A Caldwell, of Strathalbyn.
The chairman then introduced Mr Morton, of Strathalbyn, who greatly interested the audience with his moving pictures. The following artists of Strathalbyn — Miss Ritchie, Messrs J Blackwell, R Johnson, and Cheriton gave a good concert.
At the conclusion of the program, Mr A Stone (secretary for the hall trust), proposed a hearty vote of thanks to all Strathalbyn friends for the evening's entertainment: to Mr and Mrs Usher, for generously paying for the re-lining and plastering of outside wall of hall: to Mrs F I Kitto, for her gift of new stage curtains; to all who had given donations: to Messrs A Clatworthy, J Nicol, and R Blake, and all who had helped in the recent working bee.
Supper was partaken of: the floor was then cleared for dancing. Mr R Stone was MC.
Miss Ritchie, Messrs J Blackwell, and R T Johnson supplied the music. [Ref: Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser 2-6-1933]
