Trustees Annual Report
Slgnlftcant actlvltles
Another successful year where Batheaston New Willage Hall is now catering for many groups from the vlllage
and the surroundin8 area. This is important for the life of our community. it also provides a steady financial
Stream, so the fabric of the building can be mairrtained.
We are fortunate to have a hard-workin8 and dedicated team of Trustees including George Riley. Pam
Burcombe, Peter Fear. Tracey Rumble. Catherine Mccarthy and Andrew Urbanek. Ruth Foreman stepped down
as Treasurer. after seelng the Hall built. and Peter Fear has taken over that role and is doing a brilliant job.
Tracey Rumble joined us, ha5 got involved and is doin8 a 8reatjob. Thank you to them for making the hall work
so well. Two other members of the team are Ali Rogers who tskes care of the hall bookings and meets and
Breets all potentlal hlrers of the hall and does a great job. and Marle Eames who keeps the hall clean and tldy.
They all 80 the extra mile if needed and this is much appreclated. Mike Townley, Secretary and mlnLrte taker,
continues to do a greatlob, and thank you to Graham Rogers our new Handyman who Bets all those od(l jobs
done. The Pop Up Pub, under the leadership of Trustee Andrew Urbanek, continues to hold really successful
soclal evenlngs. these are always well attended, and add conslderably to the hall finance5.
l am happy with our current financlal sltuatlon wlth our accounts holdln8 at November 2024 approxlmately
£46,(O).LTh) and l am hopeful that by maintsinin8 our current level of Income thls number wlll Increase. A grant
Is stlll belng pursued for an audio visual system In t￿ main hall whlch Is very exciting.
l am also pleased that we have so many reBular enquiries for use of the hall, this is very encoura8lng, ènd
bodes well for the future. A meiianine floor has been fftted in the store ri￿rn which has improved the storage
avallable to the toddlers and children groups who need a lot ot equipment a5 they are so popular. We also
have 2 new lar8e screen televIs￿n$. one In the downstalrs actlvlty room and one In the upstairs room whlch
Increases the varlety of uses to whlch these rooms can be PLrt. We have a deflbrillator mounted on the outside
wall and curtalns In the maln hall and actlvty room.
We now have an agreement whlch allows us to use the field, and to secure this area we have bullt a new
access 8ate to control cars getting on to the fleld and a gate to secure the hall terrace.
ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND ANANCIAL REVIEW
Th5s set of accounts cover the Hall's second year of operatlon andls the flrst set of accounts that do not
Include any payments towards the buildlng costs of the Hall. Our income for this period, (Apr 23 to Mar 241,
was £56,572 and thls was made up of £25.930 of repeat b¢)oking5. £20.019 of one off bookings. £IO,CQ8 from
fundraising events afKI £614 of donations.
Our expenses totalled £47,7841£50.230 Includin8 adjUstMer￿1. Of this £31,662 (OVe￿d core expenses, Such
a5 heat, light, water. admin and cleanin8 costs and we Invested £11.717 on new equlpment and facllities for
the VlllaBe Hall.
As at 31" March 24. cash deposits amounted to £37.042 which was an I￿rease of £8.787 on the prevlous
yearfs figure.
The flnanclal alms of the Trustees are to
Ensure sufficient funds are raised to cover day to day operational costs.
A¢cumulate a reserve of £35,OJJ SLrfficient to cover 12 months CO￿ operatlng costs
Accumulate a further reserve of £35,(LMI to cover unexperted buildin8 repalrs.
It is experted that the year ahead will show an increase in income from regular bookings, slmllar Income from
