WIGGINTON RECREATION HALL TRUST
Registered Charity no.1154768
Trustees’ Annual Report for the Year ended 31[st] December 2019
The Trust’s Purpose
The Constitution defines the objects of the Trust as “to operate and manage Wigginton Recreation Hall as a Village Hall for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Wigginton in the City of York, with the primary objective of promoting (without distinction of class or gender or religious or political tenets) the moral, intellectual, educational and social welfare and improvement, and the rational recreation of the inhabitants of and visitors to the said Parish and neighbourhood”.
The Trustees
At 1[st] January 2019, there were 12 Trustees :
Mr L B Armishaw (Chairman), Mrs J Carver, Mrs J R Denton, Mr P Firth, Mrs M Fisher, Mr D W Geary, Mr M G Haseltine, Mr M J Jeffery, Mrs B M McJannett, Mr D Moorhouse, Mrs K M Spence and Mr W J Tomlinson.
Four Trustees’ meetings were held, in March, June, September and November.
Mr M J Jeffery resigned on 7[th] November, as he was moving away from the Trust’s catchment area, and for the remainder of the year the Trust continued with eleven Trustees, the minimum being six.
The Trust’s Activities in 2019
2019 was another extremely successful year. The number of groups using our facilities on both a regular and ad hoc basis continues to grow as do the variety of activities that they carry out. We have made the Hall a true community hub.
In 2019 there were actually around 1000 bookings, almost 3 bookings every single day. This of course brings with it a significant workload particularly for the Treasurer who has again done a fantastic job. Such success also involves greater cleaning and maintenance requirements and during the year we introduced professional high-quality cleaning. The company has been provided with its own secure cleaning cupboard in the St Nicholas Room.
During the year, in addition to our regular maintenance which includes fire alarm, emergency lighting, gas appliances and boiler and electrical installation, we have undertaken:
Replacement curtains and curtain poles throughout the building.
Repairs and upgrades of the main entrance doors
Installation of a loft hatch and walkway to the main hall loft. At the same time we replaced all of the entrance hall ceiling tiles.
Replacement flooring in the kitchen.
Completion of the sound system upgrade (although we still need to complete the hearing loop). Replacement water heaters in the toilets and kitchen together with water saver taps in the ladies’ and gent's toilets.
Replacement vacuum cleaner and new cleaning equipment cupboard in the kitchen. Various additional LED lighting replacements.
We purchased an additional 16 tables which means that all our tables are one size and more manageable from a handling point of view, and to help with manual handling we also purchased a chair trolley capable of moving seven chairs with ease.
During the year we opened negotiations with NHS Properties in connection with a new lease for the car park. This is an ongoing project which may take a few more months to resolve.
For a number of years, we have provided a disposal point for old clothing on behalf of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Unfortunately, this arrangement has come to an end but instead we now have a disposal point for the clothing for Cancer Support.
The Management Committee, which includes three Trustees and representatives of seven user groups, met on 10 occasions to deal with the business end of the operation and we are grateful for their support, particularly those members who now undertake a number of regular chores all of which help to make it easier to manage the building.
On behalf of the Trustees Michael Haseltine, A.C.I.S. Hon. Secretary
