WIGGINTON RECREATION HALL TRUST 2023 MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE CHAIRMANS REPORT
I wish to start the annual report by informing you that during the year we lost a very valued member of our Management Committee Bev Jaques who so sadly passed away, we are however extremely pleased that Chris, Bev’s husband, agreed to join our Trustees. We also lost two other valued members of our management Committee due to quite serious illness- Robert and Susan Taylor. They have been part of the committee for very many years and Robert was expert in looking after the notice boards. Finally, Joy White and Madeline O’Beirne stood down as Committee members also after many years dedicated involvement. On the plus side we welcomed new members Stephen Mallinson from York Vintage Dance, James Vince from Haxby Shotokan Karate and Veronica Longman from WI. Our trustees were strengthened by Mel Johnson, Pauline Ensor, Anthony Fairhurst and Peter Vaughan. Along with Chris Jaques they all joined following a successful advertising campaign for new members. Since our last Annual Meeting held in March 2022 we have fully returned to normality with our bookings and activities. We have welcomed new groups and assisted other halls whilst they had alterations and building works carried out . I am proud to say that we have continued to support the NHS Covid Vaccine programme over many weeks during 2022. This of course is in addition to our support for NHS Blood Donors.
During 2022 we carried out a full building survey, identifying a significant number of improvements we can make. The hall was built in 1970 and being over 50 years old it requires a lot of maintenance and repairs to keep it at the top of the facilities charts as a great venue. The work carried out for routine maintenance including: -
Gas servicing to the heating boiler, the hot water heater and gas cooker. Fire alarm servicing and repairs to door magnets was carried out as was the servicing of the emergency lighting and fire extinguishers and installed two additional extinguishers. I would like to thank Keith Wilson for carrying out the regular fire alarm and emergency light testing. We installed a further 200mm of insulation in the loft areas which was quite some-task. On the electrical side we completed our change over to LED lighting and carried out a number of repairs to the loft lighting including having to extend it for safety reasons during the installation of the insulation. We commenced the hall re-decorating programme and completed the entrance hall, toilets and Len Roberts Room, the reminder of the building is due to be painted during 2023. It was necessary to replace the gent’s toilet water heater which leaked badly once again affecting the ceiling tiles in the toilet.
Unfortunately, as the year ended and energy prices soared and following the Management Committees review of our hire fees, we reluctantly raised our rates for the first time in more than ten years, we will obviously continue to review our rates but I sincerely hope that raising them again in the next couple of years or so will not be necessary.
2023 looks like it will be our busiest year ever as we are planning to install new A rated Argon filled windows, improving the structure by installing window lintels, installing new entrance doors, installing a new heating boiler and making improvements to the car park safety. A lot of this work is slightly delayed whilst we apply for grant support from Defra, The National Lottery Community Fund
and Tesco Community Grants. We have already received a generous grant from Haxby and Wigginton Ward Committee. We will be starting the car park safety work during March as this is not now subject to the grant applications. It is worth reminding the meeting that we are but 3 years away from our centenary ie 2026 and there is no doubt that we should mark this momentous occasion as we did our 90[th] anniversary.
In closing I would like to thank the Management Committee, particularly Rosemary our Treasurer for their great support in what has been a difficult year for me personally and to Kath in her first year as Secretary. I would also like to thank Paul and our Trustees for supporting the Management Committee and myself. I did inform the Annual Meeting last year that I wished to stand down as the Management Committee Chairman primarily due to health concerns which manifested themselves quite seriously back in June. There were no takers for the role of Chairman so I have carried on with the role including undertaking caretaking. I are prepared to carry on as Chairman whilst we complete the works programme and of course to support Rosemary, but I will stand down for sure next March.
It is important that the role is taken up which is the responsibility of the Management Committee to resolve, I know that Paul will always help with advice in this regard. I have spoken to a local resident who might take up the caretaking and I will continue to follow this up hopefully to a satisfactory conclusion.
David W Geary Chairman of the Management Committee. 13[th] March 2023.
