Governing Document – Constitution dated 11[th] September 2014 agreed on 6[th] November 2014. This constitution was an update of the constitution of 15[th] November 1965 to enable registration as a CIO. The Woodmansterne Village Hall was registered as a CIO with the above charity number on 8[th] January 2015. It was previously registered as a charity with reference 230625.
Financial Period - 1[st] January 2024 -31[st] December 2024
The present hall was opened on 2[nd] September 1978. The charity’s purpose is to run the Village Hall for the benefit of the inhabitants of Woodmansterne and surrounding areas without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious, or other opinions. It provides a meeting place for a wide variety of local social and sports clubs and classes and was also available for hire for parties.
The trustees usually meet as a management committee once a month to make decisions affecting the Hall. Urgent matters arising between meetings are occasionally dealt with by e-mail between all trustees. Bookings are delegated to Mrs Martin, in her capacity as Booking Secretary, who reports regularly to the committee. Maintenance and refurbishment projects are discussed in committee and approved by them with a budget allocation. Mrs Dominique Vaughan has taken on the Secretarial work for the committee following the resignation of our paid Secretary.
An AGM is held annually to which Local Residents and Members of Organisations which use the Hall are invited. New Trustees can be proposed by user-groups or local individuals and can be co-opted by the trustees. All Trustees are subject to re-election each year. We have been joined this year by Mrs Lisa Queenan and Mrs Emma Rose.
The Village Hall was opened in 1978. The maintenance and running of the Hall and surrounding land is the committee’s responsibility on behalf of the local community. The age of the building and the trees will inevitably mean up-keep will cost more as time goes on. We are pleased to be able to report that we are slowly rebuilding our reserves for future maintenance of the Hall and its facilities
We have been joined this year by two new trustees this year Lisa Queenan and Emma Rose along with Dominique who joined us last year. It is great to have such able and younger members to ensure the future of the Hall.
Hazel Cluff is standing down as Chairman and trustee but will continue as a volunteer. Catherine Childs is also standing down and her husband David will also cease to be doing the many maintenance tasks has so ably done over many years. We are pleased to say Debbie is continuing as our Booking Secretary and Craig as Treasurer and Gill is taking on the Chairmanship.
