## **Review of 2020/1 Activities** 

This year has seen more improvements to the structure of the hall mainly refurbishing the  entrance handrails, to assist people on the stepped entrance and disabled ramp. Covid has had a dire effect on income from bookings, but thanks to Government grant assistance we were able to survive.
