Chairman’s Annual Report 2020-21
No sooner had we managed to hold the 2020 AGM (3 months late) than we were closed again in November 2020 until 17[th] May 2021. Re-opening the Community Centre, whilst implementing strict ‘Covid-19 rules’ to make the premises safe to all users, has been less challenging this time than in July 2020 as we’re all getting used to hand sanitising, mask wearing and sitting in a draught!. Regular users of the Community Centre – especially those who have recently ‘returned’ will I’m sure want to join me in thanking Betty & Peter Scott for continuing to keep the building so clean and tidy. Anyone checking the premises cannot fail to be impressed by the safety procedures in place and much of the credit for this goes to our manager Beth Gascoigne who has also advised returning user groups on doing so safely. Keeping everyone safe also requires the cooperation of all users and so far everyone involved has played their part. Maintaining social distancing within the building has required a number of changes including some flexibility over bookings for those involved and this will clearly continue to be necessary until regulations are further relaxed.
The use of the Job Retention Scheme and successful applications to Northumberland County Council for Business Support grants has enabled the Community Association to remain financially secure. As a result the trustees are now able to offer some reduction in hire fees to returning user groups. Membership for 2020 -21 has also been extended for 4 months so that subscriptions become due in January 2022 NOT September 2021. This applies to both individual and group membership. I want to thank my fellow trustees for their efforts in continuing to manage the affairs of the Community Association very effectively during such difficult times when all monthly meetings had to be ‘virtual’ ones.
Maintenance of the building has continued during closure including decoration and minor repairs in the main hall, downstairs toilets and backstage. Thanks to a grant obtained by Stocksfield Tuesday Club from NCC’s Community Fund a commercial dishwasher was installed during closure and used for the first time when Tuesday Club resumed on 18[th] May 2021. Its use not only eases the pressure on volunteers but increases food safety by washing crockery and cutlery at 82 degrees Celsius.
Normally this report would include details of at least three major fundraising activities but Codid-19 restrictions meant only the ever-popular Winter Quiz survived. As it was impossible to distribute the quiz via trustees and at social events its success was dependent on sales in our local shops. We are grateful to local shopkeepers and their customers for ensuring income from sales of the Quiz remained little changed from previous years. Once again we’re grateful to Jean Robinson for setting and marking the quiz.
SCAN plays such an important part in communicating with our members and the trustees are grateful to our manager, Beth Gascoigne, SCAN’s editor ,Graham ………. and the team
of volunteer deliverers, organised by Margaret Cummings, for their efforts to continue to publish SCAN . We hope members and advertisers have appreciated their efforts even when there was little to report beyond reports of meetings held via ‘Zoom’.
