CHAIRMANS REPORT
WELTON VILLAGE HALL AGM 2022
The last year has seen us complete our long awaited toilet upgrading project and get back to some sort of normality by being open almost 100% of the time. We have new users Baby Sensory and Moo Moo music, hosted a sizable wedding and returned to be a community facility used by at least 100 people per week !
The toilet project was in late August. The cost of the project ended just over £20,000 and I am truly grateful for everyones efforts during the planning phase and then during the construction period with cleaning, decorating and completing the fundraising so the hall reopened in September on time and fully operational. We had a couple of minor issues with users maybe putting the wrong towels down the toilets but overall the feedback has been positive.
As I mentioned we are back to sort of normality. Bookings are high with very few gaps in the diary. We must thank Hendrika for all her hard work keeping on top of the schedule, taking enquiries, sorting key box and dealing with cancellations / first call for issues. Thank you Hendrika.
We unfortunately had to part with our cleaner from last year Maria, as her personal circumstances meant it was impossible to fit into her schedule. Every cloud has a silver lining as we welcomed Cathy to the team and she has done a fabulous job to keep on top of things, making some organizational changes to our nice new cleaning cupboard and has made a difference to the hall. We also must thank David Brown and Carol Bertozzi who continue to maintain the garden and flowers. We (I think Sarah was in charge !) painted the back and side fence and tidied the front trees which certainly makes the frontage brighter.
Sadly we also had to say goodbye to AGEUK in September 2021 as we couldn’t offer them the time they wanted. AGEUK were a great asset for us during the pandemic which certainly helped our income for the year. This has been mainly replaced by the aforementioned Baby Sensory and Moo Music which maintains our stack of bookings every single day in term time. Nice to see all our legacy users back, and whilst the pantomime was unfortunately cancelled due to the rise again in cases in January, we expect it to be back in early 2023.
The agreement with Gigaclear for our community Wifi hub has been useful for some users and we are pleased this has been renewed for another year. Thanks Jules for sorting this out.
Our challenges for the next year or so is to keep on with the modernization to the hall. We have ordered new emergency door, and look to update some of the windows. Storage has been improved with the new room created but we still need solutions for chairs and tables. In addition the main hall walls may need a bit of decoration and the ceiling probably needs to be updated, along with a potential look at the heating and lighting systems to tie into more efficient systems which may include solar panels. We may need some additional fundraising once the projects are firmed up.
Definitely a better year than 2020/21. Once again I would like to thank all of the committee for all your efforts and especially to Jude for her secretarial work and Sarah for keeping the Finances in order.

Welton Northants Village Hall 2013 - Treasurer’s Report 2021-22
During the financial year 1[st] April 2021 – 31[st] March 2022, the total income received was £26,528.17, with expenditure for the corresponding period of £26,887.15, resulting in an expenditure of £358.98 for the year.
This year has been a year of recovery from our previous Covid lockdown year. Lots of clubs are now back up and running in the village hall and party bookings and social gatherings are working their way back to a normal level again.
We received more grants from the local council for £4,167.00 to cover our slow bookings start at the beginning of the year as well as help fund our new bathroom facilities that went ahead this year.
We received a grant of £10,096.00 and generous donations of £1,650.08 from people in the village that helped us fund the project meaning that we still have a healthy cash balance in the bank. At the end of the year, we had a bank balance of £25,803.49.
This year we have painted the outside fence and maintained the building and employed a new cleaner. We also had WIFI installed for free and next year are looking to get a SMART meter installed to try and reduce our electricity bill.
The committee is still discussing possible investment plans for 2022/2023.
