## ADCC AGM 24 April 2024 

## Chair’s Annual Report 

When I reported to last year’s AGM, we had a number of changes to look back on, such as the refurbishment of the Main Hall, a new bookings system and the film nights. 

This year has been one of enjoying the fruits of those changes, but not one of completing any major projects. 

The next phase (phase IV) of the refurbishment of the Community Centre is expected to happen in September, assuming we can obtain the necessary planning permission (which we need because we will be changing the external appearance of a building in a conservation area), and assuming we continue to be successful in raising the necessary funds. I’d like to thank Graham Inkersole for the successful negotiation of a number of grants towards this work, but more needs to be raised. 

The weekly café raised some quite amazing amounts of money towards the earlier phases of refurbishment, but it was felt that the time had come for their surplus to reach out a little further than just the Hall. So, while the café is still contributing to the Hall, it has begun to make donations to external charities. Each quarter a donation is made to a local charity, a national charity and an international charity. If you have a suggestion for a charity you would like to see supported, please let the café team know. 

The new booking system is working quite efficiently (many thanks, Alex), and we are seeing a few new users of the premises. Following the successful wedding weekend last year, we have another one booked in for later this year, and hope that this may become a regular source of income in future years. 

There are a number of regular events such as Pauline Ireland’s exercise classes, Jackie Watts’ yoga, Joe Faulkner’s NAV4 orienteering and outdoor group. Other regular users include the Parish Council, LAHAS, Highlights and Stewart Short’s arts events. And we have a number of one-offs, such as private parties and company training days. The movie nights continue to be very well received. 

Last year’s village show was another successful event, and we’re very much looking forward to this year’s show. 

Last year also we held a successful event for the King’s at the beginning of May, with a bring and share tea on the Sunday afternoon. 

Looking to the future, we have two projects lined up: first the resurfacing of the car park should be completed in the near future. And second the recladding of the building which we are calling Phase 4 of the refurbishments and which we hope to get started on in September. 

Looking further ahead what will probably be our final Phase 5 will look to improve the entrance lobby and kiosk and toilet facilities and shower facilities. We don’t yet have any firm plans for this, and we would very much appreciate your ideas and input to help make this a success. 

And finally, the Pool had another good year in 2023. There were lots of private bookings as well as Aquarobics and two schools using the facility. We used Ticketsource for bookings and season tickets, and this worked well, although practically there are some challenges with using it, so this year we are going to use a new system, called TryBooking. The Pool will open for the 2024 season on 11[th] May. 

All in all, quite a good year, but if anyone has any ideas for other ways in which we can use the hall for the benefit of the people of Askham and District do please let us know.
