Braishfield Village Hall - Annual Report 

This report covers the operational year 01.04.2023 - 31.03.2024. 

The composition of the Village Hall Committee and support team, at the beginning of the year, was as follows: 

Ian Knights - Chair Malcolm Ayres - Vice Chair Graham Bennett - Treasurer Chris Balchin, Iain Coleman, Steve Renvoize Kate Knight - Bookings secretary Helen Davies - Cleaner 

During the year Helen resigned in order to devote more time to her other commitments, and we were very fortunate that Kate was able to step in and take on that additional role. We are keen to express our gratitude to both of them, for the work given to ensure the smooth organisation and operation of The Hall. 

At the end of the year, Iain Coleman resigned due to his relocation. We received so much support from Iain, not only his meticulous minute taking, but the enormous amount of work that he did in securing the TVBC grant, that enabled us to undertake the major renovation of The Hall - his contribution to the committee will be missed. 

During the year, in addition to the AGM, The Hall Committee met on three occasions, in order to review operational issues and financial matters. We are very grateful for the meticulous recording and reporting of our accounts that Graham provides at each meeting. 

Throughout the year, both Malcolm and Chris continued to oversee and undertake, maintenance work and further refurbishment of The Hall. This included the renovation of the stage area, with improved lighting, curtains and sound system. We were very grateful for the donation from BMADS towards the new curtains. 

The Braishfield Pantry, continues to be a highly regarded community resource and we want to express our thanks to The Directors and the volunteers who support The Pantry in so many ways. The Hall Committee joined The Directors in thanking Sharron Fielding, who resigned from her role as Pantry Supervisor in February 2024. 



In addition we again want to thank Alex and Ruth McLeod, who do so much to maintain the garden and seating adjacent to The Hall and Pantry. 

It is perhaps worth noting, that a significant amount of usage of both The Hall and The Pantry, results from adults and children who do not reside in the actual village. 

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all members of the committee, who give up their time to facilitate the smooth organisation and operation of The Hall.
