Yearly report from Chair of Trustees
Well, this is going to be roughly the same and as brief as last years, report.
Firstly I would like to extend my gratrtude for the team behind the successful running of the
village hall, Graham Gardner our treasurer. Paul Savin the booking secretary. Mike Tate,
health and safety and Dawn Scott the business secretary. Plus of course Brian Boundy our
srte manager, responsible for a myriad of repairs to the fabric of the building. Thank you all,
without you the Institute would cease to function and not be as safe and comfortable as it is.
Booking8 have continued to be absolutely fine due mainly of course to the pre-schools use
rive days a week and wrth very few periods of no occupation, Some hlres have caused small
problems, curtains being accidently pulled down, mess being left and people rummaging
through the pre-schools shelving on the stage, but nothing that wasn't rectified fairly easily
and quickly. Although at the time some cursing was involved. Whilst on the subject of
bookings I think that it would be pertinent to note that we have thirteen regular user groups
not including the pre-school and thirty three individual hires, some of whom then made
repeat bookings.
The squidgy playground that was inslalled with a grant from (we think) Torbay Council about
20 years ago, finally came unstuck in places (probably due to a flood that bubbled up and
separated the squidge from the solid). This was mended by a specialist squidgy playground
company with the cost being shared equally by The Institute and the pre-school.
The summer school closure will give us an opportunity to re-sand and vamish the original
parquet floor, this will ne￿SSitate the closure of the hall to all hirers for a week but will
hopefully give us another 10 years before rt needs doing again.
It just remains for me to thank you all again and hope that you're looking forward to the
continuing success of The Institute as much as l am.
Steve Davies.
Chair of Trustees.

2025 saw an increase in income of £3857 over the previous year118.4%1. This was largely
due to the pre-school repaying the charges held over from the previous year but also from
an inrrpxEp in thp Lppnpr21 hirp nf thp hall Ancl thp qt3nfl2rdi%inLY nf thp hnijrlv h211 hirp rxtp.
Expenditure reduced by £23591-14.8%) This was mainly because of the reduced spend on
health and safety items {electrical, fire etcl which had been improved and brought up to
date in the previous year. There was also a reduction in gas/electricity costs over the year.
Overall cash assets have increased by £8882. In preparing the accounts it appears that there
was an nisioric ouisianaing aeDI wnicn cannoi De iaennnea. 11 Is recommenaea Inai Ine
£2416 be written off. There has been no disposal or acquisition of any non-cash assets.
The Institute accounts are therefore healthy. The only major building work planned for 2026
is the resealing of the floor in July which will cost in the region of £3900, which can be paid
from within revenue. Savings are sufficient for any unexpected costs that are not covered by
iii>uidiiiv.
Enquiries are ongoing to select an interest-bearing account to maximise income from the
cash reserves.
The accounts for this year do not require external examination or audit as income is less
than £25000. (this exemption limit is rising to £40000 in Oct 2026}
