Clothes collection Textile Bank Ink cartridge recycling Aluminium can recycling Donated book sales Chairman's Report 31" August 2024 A very good evening ladies arid gentleman; nice to see so many of you here this evening and welcome to the 2024 AGM. Overview of events for the year The 200 Club Heather Bryans manages our 200 Club assisted by Janet Hailslone. St remains a source of steady income and was specifically created to fund the play area. It may not be used for other purposes. Last year I had to report the damage caused by vandals. Unfortunately, they have been at it again this year! The play equipment is very expensive and all that the vandals achieve is to deprive the smaller children of the play facilities. Thank you to Craig and Brad from CAW Carpentry and Building Services for all you did to repair the slide again but has now been damaged beyond repair and has had to be replaced. Heather is always looking to increa8e membership of the 200 Club so please do join up and benefit our charity. Our regular Bingo Evenings are managed by Cheryl Hooper with Janet Hailstone and enjoyed by many. They also manage the popular Easter and Christmas Bingo events which are attended by people from all over the area and make an excellent profit for us. Breakfast Mornings on the last Saturday of the month are a real highlight with Janet and Rob the chief cooks, ably assisted by many of the committee. Very popular and last month we cooked for more than forty people. The Six a Side Football Tournament held in June. By tradition, the village hall team are responsib5e for providing the BBQ and refreshments. Two extremely long and busy days commencing early on Saturday morning before 7.00am and finished more than 12 hours later! Bright and early again on Sunday moming for another long day. The kitchen almost ran out of cakes and sandwichesl We received fantastic feedback from the coaches, refs and the children. This weekend is a major fund raiser for us. Stofest 2024. Well we did not have to can￿1 this year! A Family Fun Day in the afternoon. then fabulous music from the bands, all of whom played for free again. Great BBQ, Refreshments and for the first time, a full Beer Tent offering as well as the Gin Bar. All managed by our very hardworking committee with Tim and Helen Phelps joining us to run the Beer Tent. Plus some family and friends who always pitch in. I must comment on Barney's Wheelbarrow! An idea of Barney Lawrence to buy a wheelbarrow and fill it with drinks to run separately from our main raffle. At £5 for a ticket, the sold a hu e number takin over TAR March 2012

Section D Achievements and performance £700.00 in profiti Stofest was the brainchild of Barney and Sam Lawrence and has grown every year. People join us from far and wide and it is a fantastic event. Just remember, the organisers who never get to enjoy the day or watch and listen to the music! A huge thank you to all of you-, especially Barney and Sam and their friends and workers who help set up and support the event. Our Accounts My sister Karen ably assisted by my brother in law Gordon, have been dealing with the finances since before lockdown. They are rigorous in their management of our hard earned money. Karen has changed several contracts with the agreement of the committee to ensure we obtain cheaper deals and they are always on the lookout for grants or funding opportunities. Karen will talk you through the accounts which I know balanced to the penny again. Our Honorary Auditor Tim Sainsbury has agreed to continue with the audit for us and has approved the accounts. Thank you. The Future of the Recreatlon Centre and Village Hall Our vision remains to renovate the village hall to create more modern and up to date facilities for all our community. The old hall has been condemned and is no longer in use. The Football Club had expanded so rapidly that we recognised and concluded that we simply cannot cope with their level of expansion at our site. Football 18 now using other pitches and facilities as well as ours and for now, there are no plans to expand here. The FA has also not being able to provide them with any funding. All our metal doors have been replaced as a first stage renovation and we shall be discussing what comes next. Thank You To your hardworking Committee and all their family and friends. Without you, we would not be able to operate the Vi118ge Hall and to everyone who comes along and supports our events and donates time, money and effort. Finally, a personal thank you from me. Derek M Blake Chairman 23" October 2024 TAR March 2012

Section E Financial review Separate reserves are held for: MultI-Surfa￿ Fund raising, specifically to fund the children's play area Hall Extension Fund Raising - specifically for a new extension, changing rooms General Fund Raising and Hall Running (historic arrangement for two) should be viewed as one fund for contingency. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Details of any funds materially in deficit The Hall Running account is in deficit- the history of this relates to the initial building and setting up of the hall and it running in deficit for many years since the 1980s Section F Other optional information Treasurer and Secretsry Report We have had another very successful year and continue to be busy with bookings and events. Our fund raising efforts saw some spectacular results during the year. But, this year we have also spent considerable sums on upgrading the village hall which a￿ shown in the accounts. Grants None. Income and Expenditure Hall Running Account Lettings income for the New Hall £8006.25 and the Old Hall £270.00. Against this, our electricity costs were £2510.40 and £1148.65 respectively, very slightly down on the previous year. We are very grateful to South Newton Parish Council for once again voting to provide pre￿pt moneys of £1200.00 but unfortunately, this sum is not shown in the accounts as the transfer was not received until early September. We voted to raise the Football Club rent to £1,000.00 after several years during Covid when we charged a token sum. The increase in rental is based upon the 1990 annual rent uprated by inflation. Unfortunately, the rent was received in early September, too late for Ihis financial year. Our internet contract has been moved to another company and reduced the costs considerably. Turning to the Equipment and Repairs section, you will see a huge hike in expenses. An electrical report had to be completed for our insurance costing £720 and associated electrical works costing £2959.32, a total of £3679.32. CCTV was installed by a villager who gave us an excellent deal costing £3217.12. We have also replaced the old metal doors at a cost of £8114.80. Some very large sums involved. General Fund Raising Fundraising raised a net sum of £22105.77. Quite amazingl Highlights include the following; Bingo events £2017.60, Breakfast Mornings £2173.28, Football Tournament catering £4576.44 (up by £1429.33 on last year) and Stofest 2024 £8149.81 (up by £3225.48 on last year) plus Stofest 2024 donations of £995.00. We were also fortunate to have received generous donations totalling £2901.90 during the year. Including £2222.75 from Wayne Lawrence who set up an online raffle for a new theme park ride tickets and generously included us as one of the beneficiaries for which we are very grateful. Multi Surface The 200 Club has provided a net income of £1333 against which we have the annual ROSPA inspection and another spring for the damaged see saw. Total net income of £1122.89. Heather is always on the lookout for new members to join the 200 Club which was created exclusively to fund the play area. Balance Sheet Turning to the balan￿ sheet, this now reflects the changes that I have outlined and the sums in the bank account and the NS&I account. TAR March 2012

The Future We are so fortunate to have a thriving Village Hall and Recreation facilFties. Many small village halls are struggling hand to mouth and I frequently receive reports of them not being able to fund their electricity bills. Some halls are asking for help in how to attract bookings. Some are closing for good. We have a nucleus of committee members who are involved plus their friends and family without whom we would not be able to continue. We are all getting older and must attract and engage new people to help this community thrive. Fundraising efforts continue and a huge thank you to everyone involved donating their time, their staff, cake making, providing food for the Breakfast Mornings and raffle prizes. Honorary Auditor Our Honorary Auditor Tim Sainsbury has asked that we show the major expenses in the Hall Running Account. He has requested that we consider the following., Given the large costs in the year, consider a transfer from the General Fund Raising Account across to the Hall Running Account. Also, allocate funds again from the General Fund Raising Account across to the Hall Extension Fund Raising Account. We should also consider placing more funds on deposit with Nsandl keeping a baseline in the current account of circa £30,000.00. This will n*d to be considered by the newly elected committee for 202412025. Again, our income has breached the £25,000 sum and therefore, we have to Comply with the Charity Commission requirements. We publish our accounts, an Annual Trustees Report and our Honorary Auditors Certification on the Charity Commission website. Tim Sainsbury has once again taken on our audit as Honorary Auditor and has signed off the accounls for the year 202312024. We are very grateful to Tim and a vote of thanks for this.
