Shirley Parish Hall (including the Evans Room) continues to be used by local groups-
Shirley Singers,, Shirley Players , short mat bowls, Sparkles Pre School, lodge meetings
and a dance class. One section of the bowls club continued to play on a Thursday
morning throughout the summer . Thirty five wedding receptions and other celebration
parties were held on Saturdays throughout the year. The hall is closed on Sundays
except for blood donor sessions-seven were held during the year.
The final booking of the year resulted in the hirer's deposit being retained. The hall was
left in an unacceptable state , including damage to the fridge and an excess amount of
rubbish left for the Trustees to dispose of.
Work undertaken throughout the year included a new roof on the Evans Room together
with the flooring being replaced.
The governing document of the charity, being a Declaration of Trust dated 25 June
1928 states that the Vicar of Shirley shall ex officio become a Trustee and that Trustees
shall be Communicant Members of the Church of England. Following a meeting with
the Vicar it was acknowledged that two of the Trustees were no longer communicant
members and they resigned. The oversight of the Vicar not being added as a Trustee
when she came to the parish has now been rectified.
Income of £64,784 ( last year £58.191) which came from regular and weekend lettings
together with table and chair hire was very pleasing. Expenditure decreased slightly .
This increase will enable to boiler to be replaced in 2026.
In the opinion of the Trustees the Hall is adequately insured against fire, theft and
public liability. In addition there have been no serious incidents to report.
