St. Michaels Village Hall Chair Report for 2025 At last years A.G.M we recorded the retirement of Ken Mulholl'and as Chair and hall trustee. Ken had steered us through many years of working to remain a sustainable venue as a huge asset to the village. With Ken at the helm we created a vision for the future and we are well on the way with many of the building works completed. This year the committee has increased in numbers with the addition of Chris and Clare Young, Arthur Gilliard, Alan Hocknell and Rachel Barnes who has been active and knowledgeable in the area of social media. Rachel now manages the Facebook page, other social platforms, and has set up a hall QR code. Catherine and Tracey manage the website. The roles for last year continued with Tracey Pooleman as Booking secretary, Emma Mulholland as Treasurer, Pam Wilson took over as Secretary, Catherine Hedges manages the 100 Club subscription updates and the 'monthly draw,. Catherine also prints and laminates event posters and distributes around. Clare sources Raff le prizes and support from Waitrose and with Rachel put on a successful 80's DISCO. Angela Camier has taken over the role of Bingo caller at the quarterly events, we have a new Bingo machine. Angela is active with all other events including ensuring the hall is decorated in the Christmas spirit. Chris and Alan began renovating the hall foyer to make the entrance more inviting. The old cloakroom had become a dumping ground so adding a lock to the door has resulted in a tidy entrance and ensures hirers equipment and resources are kept out of sight. Arthur Gilliard local to the hall, he has his ear to the ground and is def initely a '90 to, person, stepping in to sort out plumbing issues in the toilets at a moments notice: Amy Brockman continues as our Cleaner/ Caretaker and supports the bookings with show arounds, letting hirers in and supporting their needs. Projects completed this year have included replacing the carpark fencin9, part funded by grants, a just giving page and remaining amount from the deposit account. Catherine and Stanley moved the gate and replaced the posts. Paul Mitchell from Electracare created more power outlets and completed an overhaul of all electrics now signed off giving us an up to date certif icate. Adam Clark returned in the summer to take the last piece of old pipework away. We have now had a whole year operating the new heating system. The fundraising events through the year have included 4 Bingo sessions and an 80's Disco. There has been positive feedback f rom all events. We hired the hall out for a wedding which meant the new kitchen was used to its full potential. Belle Case also used the kitchen for some of her pop up Thai takeaway service. With attention to some PR and a nod to the 80TH anniversaries of V.E and V.J. day, we decided to offer a cream tea for mature members of the village and some from local care homes. With a keyboard player and some strong singing voices there was a real sense of community and wellbeing. We received a couple of personal thank you's for a lovely afternoon. Following on from that we received a donation towards hall funds. Sadly a f ly in the ointment is not uncommon and a window was smashed by a youth throwing Stones. The incident was reported to the police and although a crime number was assigned, there has not been any follow up. Posting on social media resulted iri the Lion's Club coming forward with an offer to help and their generous donation covered the cost. Dave Potter swiftly replaced the pane. It goes without saying that running the hall and managing events is done with successful team work. Alan has regrettably stepped down, realising he has too much on with family and work. Emma also wishes to step down after 6 years as the treasurer. We are 10 in total. That said we are all volunteers with busy lives and family commitments so a huge thank you to everyone including Pam's husband for his muscle on setting up the hall prior to events. It is very pleasing to report that the fencing, electrical work, pipework and window maintenance have all been accomp.lished using local tradesmen, all with present or former connections to the hall. Finally, we are keen to have more people on board for general support and welcome different perspectives as we continue to upgrade the facilities St. Michaels Village Hall has to offer.
