## **Chairman's Annual Report 2024** 

Good evening everyone. Welcome to our AGM. I am pleased to report that this has been a good year for the Hall. You will hear that the finances are now on a stable path which enables us to embark on a series of projects which could loosely be described as exceptional maintenance/upgrades. 

The blinds have been installed and a contract let to Carl to replace some external wall panels. Over the half term the internal walls will be repainted. A contract has been let to pollard the chestnut tree  making it easier to look after. This has been financed largely from external sources. A contract has also been let to resurface the floor in the main hall On our wish list for the future are the replacement of some of the chairs and tables in the coffee area. 

A significant contribution to our sense of security is the new committee taking over the NBU5s. Their determination to be successful in what is a very challenging sector is verging on the heroic and we are determined to ensure they succeed. Welcome to Nick, the new Chair of NBU5s. 

Another important contributor to our well-being is the effort put in the most active trustees and officers without whom none of this would happen. My gratitude goes to you all and to everyone in the village who supports the Hall by making use of what it has to offer
