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

£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.

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.
