Chairman’s Report 2020/2022
It does not seem like 2 years since we held our last AGM, but a lot has happened as a result of the Covid pandemic. We had to suspend our meetings and it was agreed that a small committee would be formed to undertake any urgent matters that arose. Our first and biggest concern was the car park, under the circumstances we were unable to resume car park charges and this led to some large vehicles parking indefinitely, a decision was taken to place large boulders at the entrance and review the situation at a later date. In May the car park re-opened and in early July Melville resumed his duties as car park attendant (in accordance with Covid restrictions) this gave a welcome boost to our income. The problem of large vehicles using the car park has been alleviated by erecting a Height Restriction barrier. With some trepidation the car park was open as usual for the 2021 season.
A meeting with the Parish Council resolved some issues regarding the funding we receive from them, also an agreement as to each of our responsibilities would be drawn up by the council. With the appointment of Emily Goater as manager of the Environment & Property for the council we are now in a position to liaise with her with regards to the property which we maintain for them.
During this time some work has been going on although on a much smaller scale, electricity has been installed in the car park hut and preparations are being made for the installation of a BT cable to enable a Pay & Display machine to be installed. The beach shelter has been kindly re-decorated by Joanne Wilson and friends of the Ya Ya book group. We invited representatives of the Skate Park team to talk with us, about their proposal with regards to the Wheal Kitty sites they are interested in; it was agreed that the area we manage would not be acceptable and an alternative site was suggested. In principle we would support the project.
Financially we are in a strong position at the moment but this will change with some commitments in the pipeline. We have not had the usual number of requests for financial support from organizations within the village owing to the pandemic.
Our team who keeps everything ticking over is something to be proud of and we cannot thank Peter enough for all the hard work which he does, without his commitment and knowledge we would not function efficiently. Mark Herman who for many years has worked as our handyman has now through ill health had to retire, this is going to be a difficult position for someone to fill, he was so committed to his work for the LIC and he will be sorely missed. Mark Blake our gardener is another person who gives so much to enhance the village with his ability to maintain the flower beds throughout the year, and Melville who returns each year to the car park with his cheerful attitude to all and sundry.
You may not all be aware that Les has decided to stand down as our treasurer, it is a role that he has undertaken with great commitment and we will be very sorry to lose him, he was a great asset to this committee.
We are a large committee and I feel it is time that some sub committees are formed to share the work load, we already have one formed for the car park Pay & Display work. If you bring ideas to the committee, it would be helpful to share the responsibility among the members.
Thank you to June for all her hard work as secretary an unenviable task and Barrie as minute secretary also Kay our President. It has been a strange 2 years but we have survived and I hope that we can continue in the good work which we do for the benefit of all the village.
As chairman I have endeavored to serve this committee to the best of my abilities, as an organization we should be justly proud of the commitment we make, to honor the wishes f b f
