MARKET WEIGHTON COMMUNITY HALL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT 2023-2024
(for the period 10th May 2023 to 8th May 2024)
The past year - my 14th and final year as Chairman of the Management Committee - seems to have flown by.
Looking back over those 14 years, we have made many improvements to the appearance of the building and to the facilities offered to the people of Market Weighton, surrounding villages and the wider East Riding of Yorkshire as we continue to make everyone aware of the superb facilities provided by the Community Hall. An increased presence on social media - via our own Facebook page and other Market Weighton-related sites, town-wide advertising and a link with the local radio station -Vixen 101 - will hopefully ensure that our client base will continue to expand.
As I reported last year, the community hall was slow in its recovery from the Covid-pandemic during 2022-2023, but regular bookings are now slowly returning to pre-pandemic levels and, as you will see from our Treasurer's report and the Annual Financial Statement, we have managed to survive the worst of the increased cost of utilities - gas, electricity and water - services, supplies and the financial downturn experienced by many organisations - small, medium and large - across the whole country. In this respect, I would like to thank our Treasurer and the Booking Clerk for their endeavours on our behalf.
Once again this year, our agreement with Rimmington Pharmacy of Bradford - working in conjunction with NHS Eng-land - for the hire of part of the premises as a Covid-19 Vaccination Centre continued, and has been a welcome source of regular income - although the operation of the centre has, again, not been without its drawbacks and operational difficulties. The Vaccination Centre has proved popular for both scheduled appointments and non-scheduled drop-ins for Covid vaccinations, flu jabs and blood pressure monitoring and continues to play no small part in meeting the Government's national vaccination targets. The current 2024 Spring Booster Campaign is well attended and additional sessions have been arranged as a result of demand from the over-70s and those with serious or long-standing medical conditions.
During this reporting period, two of the hall's Trustees resigned from the committee and these resignations have been reported to the Charity Commission. Fortunately, we have been able to welcome two new Trustees - one of whom we welcome for the first time this afternoon and the Town Mayor also makes his first appearance as the representative of the Town Council - the hall's Custodian Trustee. Their different interests, experience and new ideas can only benefit the Management Committee.
An invitation was also extended to groups in our client base and to individuals in the wider community - via publicity, in the local press and radio and on social media - in an attempt to attract new Trustees in order that we can fully develop the facility and reflect the wishes of the community in the future, and this search for new members will continue. A new Trustee base with members from different age groups, backgrounds and experience is vital for the continuation for the hall and its role at the centre of the local community.
My thanks go to all members of the Committee for their support during the past year. I would also like to thank our two Caretakers - one of whom is shortly to leave us - for their continuing commitment to the hall.
In closing, I particularly would like to thank our Secretary for her commitment to the on-going, day-to-day management of the hall. After 15 years on the committee and 10 years as Secretary - a role she was reluctantly persuaded to undertake following the sudden resignation of a former Secretary - Ilja's quiet efficiency - especially in her roles as line manager to the staff, organising services, purchasing supplies and general correspondence - and as an indispensable support to me as Chairman have been invaluable. Ilja gave notice at the last AGM that she would relinquish the position and resign from the committee at this meeting and we both wish her successor well as she joins the committee.
Thank you.
Cllr Stephen King
Chairman
