## **- Uplowman Village Hall Report 2025** Thank you all for attending the village hall AGM 2025. Another year has gone past – rather quickly I feel. It’s been a busy year for the hall and for all of us, but that’s because a lot of effort goes into making this facility a place that people want to book not just once but repeatedly. So a big thank you to all the members of this committee for all their commitment and hard work, thanks also for rounding up and roping in friends/family and others in the community to help out, very often without any charge. I say it every year and it’s important to remember that the hall would not be so successful without all the goodwill from volunteers that give up their precious free time for the benefit of others so that they may use these facilities. I very often hear the positive comments from the users of the hall who appreciate what a great venue it is to book. Not only does the hall get well used by the numerous different clubs, organisations etc but the outdoor space is used to its full potential by a wide range of people. This year we seem to have had a record number of people/teams using the outdoor space – so important for the community to have the space to enjoy outdoor leisure activities. We were fortunate to secure a grant and install the audio system, a glasswasher has been installed in the bar area, a new cooker in the kitchen, improved the outside lights amongst other maintenance work. All which involves a lot co-ordinating. So again, a big thank you to all of you, and I very much hope you will all be prepared to be part of the team again this coming year, many thanks ## **UPLOWMAN HALL & RECREATION MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS - 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025** |**INCOME**
