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. Chairperson TreswellVilLage HaLI
