**CHAIRMANS REPORT APR 2022 – APR 2023** ## **APRIL / MAY** On the 11[th] Apr the PVH AGM was held, no members of the public were present Planning for the Flower & Produce Show was started for 23[rd] July. Consideration to provide a Baby Changing station in the disabled toilets and also some plastic beakers for use by toddlers was discussed by the committee, and in view that this was the first time this had been requested, the changing mats already provided should suffice for the time being. If further requests were received, we would revisit this. It was agreed that plastic tumblers should be made available. ## **JUNE** Austin Heating have recently attended to outstanding issues at the village hall, including fitting the missing part to the heating, sorting out the control panel, and also replacing the tap in the disabled toilet. ## **JULY** ## **AUGUST** Following our sub meeting on 28th July, to discuss the 3 quotes for the children’s play area, it has been agreed by the committee that our preferred option is with HAGS. This is down to the quality of what they can offer and their focus on children’s interaction with the equipment proposed/ Paul advised he visited the site in Brentwood, which has been delivered by HAGS, and whilst much bigger than our proposed project, it gave him the opportunity to see the finished product from this company which he was most impressed with. Unfortunately, the Village Flower and Produce show that was planned for 23rd July 2022, had to be cancelled. The decision was not taken lightly but given the poor entry submissions (from 5 people only) we had no choice as the show was not viable. It is very disappointing as previous years have proved to be so successful and a great community spirit has been felt. Why there was such a lack of entries is not known. ## **SEPTEMBER** The new clothing bank supporting St Nicolas Hospice has been installed and will be emptied weekly ## **OCTOBER** The Autumn Quiz did not take place due not being able to find a suitable compare ## **DECEMBER** The usual tree was purchased and new decorations for the hall. **CHAIRMANS REPORT APR 2022 – APR 2023** ## **JANUARY 2023** Broadband for the Village Hall has now been arranged and installation will be on or before the 14th March 2023.
