Trustees Annual Report for the Financial Year 2023/2024
Personnel
We are indebted to the trustees for another successful year for Dolcorsllwyn Hall. John Curran & Keith Owen have been the main contributors to any practical maintenance that has been needed ably assisted by our band of trustees & volunteers who give up their time generously.
Volunteers, funding and internal works
We met shortly after the AGM in November where plans were made for the coming year. The work upstairs of relocating the top corridor, extending Dorm 3 & 4, the total refurbishment of the staff bedroom & ensuite plus 2 new bathrooms was finished but finishing touches were needed. The main effort was to complete these. Extra funding was not needed but work weekends with our trusty volunteers were what was needed so these weekends were planned & addressed. It was felt that the main outlay should be a new boiler to replace the 2 that served the Hall. Andrew Nolan set about the task of finding the funding. The sum of £10,000 was donated by a former work colleague of Andrews to whom we are most grateful. With the improvement to 2 of the dormitories complete, new mattresses were purchased.
It was decided to purchase a carpet cleaner so that the carpeted areas of the Hall could be maintained without the expense of hiring contractors.
Volunteers, funding and external works
The maintenance of the grounds is ongoing. It was decided that the trees needed some major pruning so an ex-pupil gave us his time & expertise to tackle the problem ably assisted by our trusty volunteers. The lawn mowers were serviced & the necessary repairs carried out so that they could continue the job of keeping the lawns in good order. It was decided that a window cleaner should be found to keep the Hall looking cared for. This was done & he now comes monthly throughout the Spring, Summer & Autumn.
Visitors to Dolly Hall
This year has seen an increase in the number of schools & charity groups using the Hall. Many Special Needs groups both children & adults have also started to use to use the Hall eager to book again after their stay. These groups use weekdays rather than weekends meaning that weekend time is available for volunteers to complete maintenance work.
A very successful year for Dolcorsllwyn Hall
