Two events are held monthly, Bacon Butties and the Copsale Coffee Pot which are open to the public as well as other pop-up and one-off events. The charity runs, maintains and strives to constantly improve the facilities offered at the Village Hall. The trustees are keen to ensure the Hall is an integral part of its community.

Section D Achievements and performance
The year got off to a great start with BBC Radio Sussex broadcasting an Summary of the main entire show live from the Hall to celebrate Village Halls Week. achievements of the charity Bacon Butties and the Copsale Coffee Pot were held each month. during the year In January, the ever popular Bird Box Building was held – lots of boxes built and taken away. In April the Hall was decked out in red and white for the evening to celebrate St George’s Day with a fish and chip supper and superb quiz. In June the hall was decorated in red, white and blue community bunting, which had been collectively made by hall supporters, for a Platinum Jubilee themed bacon butties. In August the Hall hosted cream teas. In September, we paid our respects along with the rest of the country, at the passing of the late Queen. In October we held pumpkin day. The creativity of the carved pumpkins never fails to impress. In May we held our AGM which saw some major changes to the Trustees and Officers. Gina Dixon, our secretary of nearly 20 years stepped down to enjoy a well earned retirement from the committee. She took with her a wealth of knowledge and experience and we are very lucky that she is always at the end of the telephone for help and advice. This created a vacancy for a new secretary. Julie Fordyce, whose husband Andy was one of the Hall’s regular volunteers, offered to take on the role of secretary and Andy offered to join the trustees. Julie and Andy have been a great addition to the team. Also at the AGM, Dennis Livingstone, the Chairman stepped down as did the Treasurer, Michele Harrison. However, Dennis took on the role of Treasurer and Michele took on the role of Chair. It was a successful year in terms of hires with a few new regular hirers using the hall for a wide variety of activities including yoga, bicycle maintenance, social activities for children, band practice, parish council meetings and so much more. The trustees are mindful that, where possible, the hall should support and be involved with, its local community. In this period, a donation was made towards the production costs of the Parish Link magazine. An article was also submitted each month and the Hall is a distribution point for the magazine with it being available for customers at Hall events. In January a couple of the Trustees gave a talk at Nuthurst Local History Society about the history of Copsale Hall. In February the Nuthurst Community Allotment held a fundraising event in aid of Ukraine and the trustees were happy to lend crockery from Copsale Hall to help support their efforts. In April, Nuthurst Parish Carbon Busters had a stand at the bacon butties to speak to customers about a survey they were conducting. In June the Hall put together a display in St Andrews Church as part their Platinum Jubilee event. in July, drinking glasses were lent to St Andrew’s School PTA for a fund raising event they were holding. In September the hall was once again one of the venues for the Parish Macmillan Coffee Mornings. At Christmas, the trustees submitted and decorated a Christmas tree in St Andrews Church for the first ever Nuthurst Christmas Tree Festival. We also registered and took part in South and South East In Bloom and in September we received a certificate recognising the hard work of the volunteers. We also put out an appeal for more volunteers and were delighted to get a couple of new helpers on board. Looking ahead, the trustees have started to try and simplify the running of the hall. We realised that so much information in this regard is
