Sele Farm Community Centre

Chair’s Report – Adam Leaf

First of all I’d like to thank the Management Committee and in particular it’s outgoing Chair, Jordan Scott, for their hard work and for leading the centre though another year of change.

We have used more of the section 106 funds made available from the Blakemore Manor development through East Herts Council and also added some of our reserves to ensure the facility is updated will holding sufficient float to allow for external shocks. Following on from the heat pump and solar panels, that money has funded new acoustic panels to deaden the echo in the hall; it’s allowed us to fit a security lock to enable regular hirers to access the hall without the need for a caretaker to be present; and we the hall has been redecorated and the toilets refurbished.

Bookings continue to increase and we have a very healthy revenue position as a result. Costs are looking healthy too, with a significant reduction in energy bills compared to the gas boiler days.

The proposed development at Archers Spring will present challenges in terms of access as well as opportunities by putting us more at the centre of the estate. There is little movement on the development as far as we can tell and we are awaiting East Herts to finalise the legal agreements with L&R.

Finally I’d like to welcome Deborah Akers to the management committee who is taking over as Chair.

So thanks to my fellow trustees, to the management committee and to you, our community for a successful year and I look forward to many more.
