As a venue, The Crowcombe
Hall continues to serve the community
by
providing
a pleasant
and flexible space for
leisure and recreational
purposes
and
meetings,
during
the day,
in the evenings
and
at weekends.
It provides a focus for all ages in| |beneficiaries
and|||any wider||the village snd the surrounding
area.| |benefits to society as a|||||| |whole.|||||Due to the Covid pandemic,
the Hall was not| ||||||open to the public
in the early part ofthe year| ||||||but bookings were taken from April onwards.| ||||||The trustees took advantage
ofthis quiet periocl| ||||||to carry out some significant work in the rolling| ||||||programme
of repairs and renewals:| ||||||1.Following the replacement
ofthe French| ||||||windows
and emergency
doors in the main Hall| ||||||in 2020 so that they open, close and lock more| ||||||easily for users, the remaining
thirteen
windows| ||||||were replaced
in February 2021 so that the| ||||||building
has a uniform
look.| ||||||2.The changing
room doors were replaced
and| ||||||now have the benefit ofsmall windows

Room (smaller
meeting
room)|| |and kitchen flooring was replaced.|| |4.The interior and the exterior ofthe building|| |were painted.|| |5. Minor improvements
—the battery-operated|| |hand sanitisers were replaced
with an electric|| |version; obscuring
plastic film was put on the|| |downstairs
storage room windows
which are|| |clear glass; the white lines on the steps leading|| |to the main entrance were repainted.|| |In the summer of2021, it was agreed that in|| |order to complete
all door and window|| |refurbishment,
the front door and Quantock|| |Room door and locks should be replaced.|| |(Aluminium
was chosen rather
LIPVC as it is|| |more durable for heavy usage areas. For|| |various reasons, the work was delayed
and will|| |be completed
in 2022.)|| |These works have ensured
that the premises|| |provide
an appealing
and safe place for ail|| |members
ofthe public who use the Hall.|| |During the second part of the year, once|| |bookings resumed
afler Covid lockdowns, as|| |well as regular use by the Pilates, Karate and|| |Toddler groups, the building
was also used for|| |s wedding
reception,
various parties and|| |meetings
and a 75e memorial
RAF gathering.|| |From April, cricket matches resumed,
with the|| |Hall providing
a base and changing
rooms for|| |the three village cricket teams, as well as|| |providing a paved terrace area for members|of| |the community
to sit and watch matches.|| |Film Nights continued
to be popular and during|| |the second part ofthe year, eight films were|| |shown
with an average attendance
of45.The|| |evenings are overseen
by the trustees with the|| |support of local volunteers
who help with film|| |projection.
Films were shown on Sunday|| |evenings
for the benefit of people
living
in the|| |community
and the surrounding
villages,|| |providing
a social event with the opportunity|for| |people to meet and chat as well as to enjoy the|| |film, accompanied
by ice-creams and drinks.|| |In November 2021 a new, much larger screen|| |was purchased
which has enhanced
the|| |viewing expenence
for our audiences|| |It is hoped that as Covid concerns reduce,|| |bookings
will rise and the Hall will be used at|| |pre-psndemic
levels again. To further promote|| |the Hall, two trustees are now able to update|| |the Hall website diary and upload
Film Night|| |information.
There is also a link to the village|| |Facebook page in order to notify local people|| |about what is going on.|| |Additionai
