Clearly 2020 will be remembered
for the devastating
effect that
Covid-19 has had on community
life. The hall was completely
dosed for several
months,
and several
regular users have not met
at the hall since March 2020, though
all are hoping to return when
conditions
improve.
Many occasional user bookings were
cancelled or postponed
indefinitely.
A great deal ofTrustee time
and resources went into achieving
Covid-secure
status for the hall,
allowing
users to return
provided
their Risk Assessment
forms
were adjudged
satisfactory.
One silver lining was the emergence
ofseveral new regular user groups: Alcoholics Anonymous,
Ukulele,
Art and Reading,
all using the Bill Carter room.
Social
distancing
rules Ied to an increased
number of Dance sessions
because there had to be fewer participants
at each, and also an
extra Pilates group. Trustees are very grateful for the financial
support
provided
by the Government
through
Dorset Council to
help us through
this time.
In spite ofthe Covid-19 issue, Trustees were able to move forward
on the second ofthe four "Completing
the Job" Development
targets identified
in October 2019. Grants from the National
Lottery
Community
Fund and from Garfield Weston Foundation
enabled
us
to purchase
an audio-visual
system for the main hall.
This includes
digital projection, a sound system and a hearing
loop. Work on the
remaining
two targets - forming a chair store and enlarging
the
kitchen and boarding
out the first floor ofthe extension —will
continue
into 2021 and probably
beyond.
Villagers have been entertained
by Artsreach
music from
Bowjangles and by Artsreach
drama
with Scratchworks
Theatre's
"Womans" show.
Both ofthese were before the first Lockdown.
We are pleased too to have put on a socially distanced
show with
over 50people
in the audience as Artsreach
returned
in October
with Living Spit's "Henry Vill".
Bookings by individuals
and groups this year included a meeting
of
the Dorset Butterfly Conservation
Trust, a 'soup and a pud' event
run by Wareham's
Inner Wheel Club and the Corfe Castle
Community
Land Trust public exhibition.
Routine maintenance
included
repairing
the kitchen cooker and the
solar panel inverter,
and also replacing
some faulty double glazed
windows
in the main hall.
