## ADCC AGM 3 April 2025 

## Chair’s Annual Report 

When I reported to last year’s AGM, we were looking forward to the next phase (phase IV) of the refurbishment of the Community Hall in September. Unfortunately, obtaining the appropriate permissions took longer than we had hoped, and so we are once again looking forward to starting the works in September, once the Pool has closed. 

The hall booking system is working quite efficiently when I remember to send out the invoices. We have some new users of the hall, and even one for the pool grounds starting quite soon. 

Regular events include Pauline Ireland’s exercise classes, Jackie Watts’ yoga, Liz Ball’s “Askham Larks”, Joe Faulkner’s NAV4 orienteering and outdoor group, Café church, and of course the Askham Café. Other regular users include the Parish Council, LAHAS and Highlights. And we have a number of one-offs, such as private parties including occasional weddings and company training days. The movie nights have continued, but attendance seems to have fallen off. 

The Pool had another good year in 2024. There were lots of private bookings as well as Aquarobics and two schools using the facility. For cashflow reasons, we changed our ticketing agent for season tickets and public swimming sessions from Ticketsource to Trybooking.com, and this has worked well. We are intending to add bookings for private hire this year. The Pool will open for the 2025 season on 17[th] May. 

Askham Café also had a good year, and managed to donate over £3,100 to various charities. The kitchen now has a new fridge/freezer which is an improvement on the older one. And they’ve just had another five star review from Environmental Health. 

Last year’s village show was yet again a successful event, and we’re very much looking forward to this year’s show on 30[th] August. 

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. 

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.
