I would like to start my report by thanking all the Trustees and for their hard work and commitment over the last year. This co has played no small part in the great success of the village hal again this year. The hall continues to be used regularly and app by local groups and people from outside the community.

The range of activities in the hall continues to offer opportuniti sport, culture, hobbies, entertainment and social interaction t sections of our community and bookings for people outside M are growing especially at weekends for weddings and parties. from all of these groups has been very good and as always the cleanliness of the hall is a major feature of that positive endor Thanks must go to Julie for her care to ensure everything is per each booking.

Financially the Village Hall is in a healthy position thanks to th the high volume of lettings, the income from Flicks in the Sti annual grant from the Parish Council precept. We are very gr those contributing to our funds. The Trustees regularly rev from suppliers and contractors and endeavour to find economically favourable for the benefit of the Village Hall. panels help to offset some of the cost of electricity so th running and upkeep costs have been met any surplus can b back into the continued improvement of the hall facilities,

CE suggested that the Trustees wrote to Julie Goodchild to thank her for all her hard work through the year.

• 5 Treasurer’s Report

Proposed by Chris Eames, seconded by Jane Eyre. The accounts were accepted unanimously.

• The treasurer report that there is roughly a £900 deficit on the year, this is explained as the feed in tariff and Renewable Heat incentive are out of sync with the electricity bill. The heat pump was faulty for a time meaning the immersion heaters heated the water for the underfloor heating causing larger electric bills (this has now been rectified).

• The fire extinguishers needed replacing this year and the emergency lighting needed some expensive repairs.

• Hall hire – Baseline fees were increased for the first time in 5 years.

• The funds raised by Flicks in the sticks is given annually after they have completed their accounts for the year.

• 6 Appointment of Auditor for 2025/26 Proposed by Patti Derry, seconded by Chris Eames. Alan W Scott F.C.M.A. was appointed unanimously.
