TresweLIVillage Hall Committee operates your Community Buildingwhich is set up to support local clubs and organisations: bring our communitytogether and to help everyone; other charities orvoluntary bodies. The object of the charity is the provision and maintenance of a vilLage haLlfor use bythe inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for 1) meetings, lectures and cLasses. and 2) other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improvingthe conditions of life forthe inhabitants. The Charity provides the building at low hire rates with more favourabLe rates being given to Treswell residents. The Hall hire is the cheapest in the area and it is the Committee's aims to find ways to support low hire rates to ensure the continuity ofthe clubs and organisations offered to the community. In the financialyearfrom 1st April 2024 to 31$t March 2025 the Trustees secured local governmentfunding amounting to £12,240.32-this moneywas spent on upgrading the coolingfridges behind the bar and instaLling Solar panels and batterystorage both initiatives will reduce our energy consumption. Further fundingopportunities are stiLI being explored for our next financialyearwhich will increase the batterystorage and review alL room thermostats making further energy savings at the HalL. The purchase of these initiatives and the changing of low energy lighting in the hallwas identified from a free energy audit funded by Bassetlaw District Council. This year sawthe installation of Internet to the village halLthe funding of both the instalLation and running costs for a whoLe yearwas kindlydonated byThe DarLayTrust. In addition to the grant fundingwe generated a further £15,182.74 which was through various income streams; Of this figure £4382.69 was generated by our fabulous Friday Night Bingo Sessions run by Roger abLy supported by volunteers most of whom are ex-trustees and Committee Members. This Lastyear our hires have been really busy not onlyto our regular cLubs and groups but hiring our beautiful hall out to our community for birthday parties, both adult and children's, christenings. funerals and the operation of our bar which we try to run at cost generated a total of just over £6.500. Bar Tips totaLling £345 were coLlected and donated to Lincs & Notts AirAmbulance. The Committee work tirelessly to provide a variety of events at the hall to suit different age groups and interests such as Sip n Create painting; Wreath Making and more informative free group sessions such as How to use a Defibrillator for exampLe.
All events we hold contribute to our income stream with some more established events such as Bonfire Night and the Ann Anderson Physic Evenings being good fund generators. Other'new, events such as the Harvest Supper; Christmas Light Switch On need to build up momentum butwe are determined that with communitySUPPOrtto reach high attendance goals. Sadly, some events we have had to postpone such as the Johnny Flinton music night and FLower Arranging Demonstration due to lack of pubLic interest and there is a regular struggle amongst the committee to justify providers fees when there is no guarantee of the number of tickets sold or even if it will go ahead. With the on-going support from The DarLayTrust forthe newyearthere won't be as much pressure around making every event profitable and will mean there should be more variety and more sustained entertainment in the vilLage as well as keepingticket prices and hire rates low. Our ViLlage Hall has a Licenced Bar stiLI operated by Licensee Roger Moore which the Committee tryto open once a month and connect a differentfood vendor. There has been occasions where due to lack of public support the vendors refuse repeat bookings which is disappointing. Atotal of just over £13,500 was spent in maintaining the hall, this incLudes the cost of Rates; Energy; Insurance; Water: Cleaning; Electrical PAT Testing. Fire Extinguishers; Air Conditioning Maintenance etc and incLudes one off charges to replace the fence posts between the HalL and The Methodist ChapeL and the fridges behind the bar (ofwhich we received 50% grant funding) as well as a 5-year ELectricaL Test Certificate and a boiler service/repairwhen it broke down. In total our events cost just over £3,400 and we've planted a reaL Christmas Tree for 2025 lookingfurtherat the sustainabiLity of the HaLI. If you're passing, please give it drink. thanks to Shaun we have a hosepipe and tap attached to the outside of the hall for ease of watering. OveralL if we take the grantfunding out of the equation the Village HaLI Charitywas in a negative of £2,446.50. The Charity continues to hold a cash reserve contingencyfund which was the ethos of the previous Chairtrrustees to take advantage of land opportunities if presented to the Committee. All in aLI, a very busy. productive and enjoyable year at TresweLI Village HalL. If you are a Trusteelcommittee Member I'd Like to take a moment to thankyou all on behalf of our beautifulfaciLityfor supporting and workingtogetherto maintain our hall forfuture generations to enjoy. If you're new. join in. It's not onerous and even if you have only a littLe time to give. we'd love to hear yourviews of what you'd like to see here at the Hall. Thankyou foryourtime Helen Cope.
