A wide range of sporting, educatlonal, enlertaining and social activities took place throughout the period. The hall is used by all ages. from toddlers to senior citizens, with activities and events taking place nearly every day of the period. The recreation ground (including the children's play areas) is open to all for Informal use and can be booked for more significant actlvlties at low rates.

We also have a few non-trustee volunteers who make extremely valuable contributions in specialist areas such as technical support, our web site and soclèl medla. Para 1.38 Contribution made by volunteers Other Achievements and Performance SORP reference The Hall continues to run at close to maximum capacity. Sadly we10st a couple of regular users: one due to the death of the organiser, the other because no volunteers came forward to continue running the group. Gratifyingly we gained a couple of new user Eroups in the smaller room which tends to be less well used than the main hall. The range of activities continues to widen, intluding the active Idancing, yoga and pilatesl, musical, cultural IArts Society and practical art groupl and practical activities (hobbies and amateur radiol. Family activities such as birthday and annlversary functions lead to pressure on weekend Hall availability for families within the village, but increasingly from the developments on this side of Chippenham. sadly, the Rural Arts Touring scheme has not regained the reputation it enjoyed pre-pandemic, so we continue to promote carefully selected events at our own risk. Finally, further planning delays and consequent increased costs led us to the decision that the annex project no longer represented value for money and with great reBret it was formally abandoned in October. On the positive side this has released substantial funds to enable us to press on wlth other priority projects.
