Chair's Report I would like to thank everyone for attending this AGM. l also wish to thank all the Staff and trustees tor tneir contributions to the smooth running ot this charity. It Is important to understand that without the parents acting as Trustees this Pre-school would not exist. We have had a good year with the numbers of children holding up and we need to maintain the numbprs on our roll to keeD viable. top of this we are requesting 106 money from the Council to support us. We are in the pruLebb 01 Ldi(ing over irie iedbe ui irie uuiiu'irig iroiTI iomersei knuuriLii wriiLii wiii eiiduie ub to start planning the outdoor play area. This facility will go a long way towards an even better Ofsted report than last time. Many thanks to Laura Tilling and Penny Smillie for their efforts in workino with the Council to neqotiate the lease.

Potential funders will look at applications more favourably if they see that we have made ettorts to raise tunds ourselves. You can see trom the totals near the encl ot the accounts that we raised £4,350 this year through Fun on the Field, a Grand Draw, a Quiz night and a coffee morning. These events also serve to ratse our profile in the community, bLJt is lots of hard work for TrLJStees, Darents and staff. We now have over £10,000 in the kitty to allocate to our first project: to create an outdoor play area at the front of the building. The fourth column is our reserve.
