Achlevements and perfommnce
LDCC annual r¢port 2023124
Our new manager settlèd in during the yèar. We al80 saw turnover amongst our directors. Paul Pine
and Danielle Little departed. Paul was a dir8Ctor for many years, steering much of our communications
activity and promoting Flix in the Stix. He made many other contribLrtions lo the Centre and we miss
him. Danielle's time with us was shorter bul al80 valuable.
We welcorned a new director in David Layzelle. David h88 already made 8 difference to the C8ntr8,
deploying his range of communication8 skills to good effect, including the production of a much needed
quarterly newsletter.
Over the past year we have seen a wide range of wrf8nts held with. over811, a good level of support.
They have included The Great Amerlcan Songbook - a musical evening - Opera, a quiz, blues and, of
course. Ihè autumn p18y. As well as offering events for people to attend, thw contribute funds that allow
us to run the wlder range of Communlty Centre services.
We removed the room4ivider from the Llewellyn Palmer Hall. This had become a while elephant,
installed on the basis we woukl use the room for dlfferent activities ai the same time. In reality, this
rarely happened and the cost of sep41clng the divider could no longer be justified. We took steps to
reduce the helght of Ihe wall al the rear of the Centro, following advlce and dixussion wilh the
neighbour. There h88, a8 ever, beon a sleady fl¢)w d roullne maintenance.
Towards the end of th6 year we becama focussed on tha need to upgrade our IT. We have developed
a programme that we hope wlll lead to Improved IT 8UPPOrt for the communlty, for our own staff and
new websrte offerlng better a¢ce88 lo events.
Financialty we r￿naIn in a sound position. We have rese￿e8 thal should enable u8 to manage any
unexpected crises and w8 continue to rnatch our expenditure to our income over th8 y8ar as a whole.
My thanks to all involved in keeping us on the financial straight and narrow.
