Our<br>charges for hire are kept to a minimum to<br>ensure that the venue is of benefit to the<br>majority of the community.  This is a very<br>fine balance but so far we have been<br>successful and the Village Hall is a very<br>central part to the community.|
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24|Our cinema is not  running at a profit the<br>Trustees and Management Committee<br>made the decision to run sessions as  often<br>as we can to ensure that the members of<br>the community have the opportunity to<br>socialise.|
