## **’ – Chairman s report to Limelights AGM 2023 2024** **This time last year I reported that the club was at a crossroads & although management have worked to rectify the situation we are not out of the woods yet.** **At the last AGM I said that I wished to stand down after 40 years at the helm but am willing to extend that for a further year to see the club back on solid footing, direction wise.** **We have lost Sean Gabriel as a Trustee & we thank him for his time & input with the club. This leaves us with only 3 trustees a situation we hope to rectify at this meeting.** **We have lost our administrator Alison who has taken early retirement from BCP council after being with the club for close on 30 years. We are not losing her completely as she has accepted to join the management committee, along with Sandi Robbins who is taking the minutes this evening, we know her well.** **Club finances are sound mainly due to the income from the letting of the caretaker flat. We received our usual grant from BCP council but with the understanding that this was mainly to support SEN session’s at the club until April 2025. A big thank you goes to George Stevens who continues to steer the ship on a sound course.** **There will be no further grants & no youth service as we have known it over many years. We have been told that our lease states that the building must be used exclusively as a youth centre. To this aim we have encouraged SEN. session’s run by Beverley Clark & her team. We have not been able to obtain a long term user agreement with forward funding guarantee from SEN Management, to use the building as their main centre, which is very dissapointing.** **To enable the building to be used by young people we have been in talks with Dexters YFC who have their HQ in the close & will shortly be installing a 3D football pitch where the Mugga stands at present.** **They have agreed to hire the building on 2 evenings a week for their junior teams to train & socialize.** **Paul & Loraine Kybert have agreed to become Trustees & committee members & we welcome them to our family. This will bring Dexters & Limelights closer over the coming years which can only be good for us both.** **Cllr Sandra Moore has worked tirelessly on our behalf to ensure that the club remains a youth building, with all the benefits it holds to the community. We thank her for her efforts on the clubs behalf.** **Again we thank Men’s Shed who rent the club on Wednesday & Saturday mornings to socialize & continue to save the club money by completing several maintenance jobs. Our Thanks go to Peter Dryden who represents the shed on our committee & has agreed to become a Trustee.** **I thank our cleaner Rachael & all who have helped the club through a difficult year & would appreciate if a new Chair Person be found in the not too distant future.** **I am sure the committee that was formed some 40 years ago & who gave of their expertise & time in raising £325,000 (a lot of money then) would be pleased to know that the building they designed & built, is still being used for young people.** **Anthony (Tony) Ives BEM** ## **‘Limelights’ Chairman of Management.** |**Section A Receipts and payments**
