## **– Higher Denham Community CIO Annual Report for 2023** At the Annual General Meeting for 2023, held in April 2024, Jacquline McGowan, a Trustee for the past 15 years and Chairperson for the last 5, stood down having come to the end of the maximum period she could serve. Two other Trustees also stood down, these being Nadeline Barrett and Ursula Henry. We thank them all for the work they put in for the local community during the period they served. Three new Trustees joined the management group at the AGM and David Ward was elected as the new Chairman at the first management meeting of the Trustees following the AGM. As in every year, the main activity during 2023 was the upkeep of the community owned Hall and Sports Field including the small garden in front of the hall. The Hall is used for a number of activities both to promote health and exercise or leisure pursuits. A notable new activity is a weekly gymnastics session for 4 – 9 year-olds, while at the other end of the age range the monthly senior lunches programme has continued. The Sports Field was again used by the Denham Rangers youth football team for its matches and training and, of course, generally by the rest of the local community. It was also used for a community Coronation Party and the annual Guy Fawkes fireworks show. Two additional Defibrillators were installed in the area and the two existing units maintained. A new Vehicle Activated speed limiting sign was paid for by local company, Martin Baker, and installed near the entrance to Higher Denham, and a new flag pole was installed near the Hall and used to display seasonal flags. Progress continued on the design of a New Hall to replace the aging existing building and this has now been submitted to Buckinghamshire Council. HIGHER DENHAM COMMUNrrY ao.
