## **L  Ô  N  Y  BUGAIL  TRUST  ANNUAL  REPORT  -  2020 – 2021** 

July 2020 - and so the Covid-19 pandemic continued and the building was still closed. 

At a Meeting of Trustees in August 2020 it was decided that for - 

- residential use, parties, etc, the building would remain closed until 2021, with the situation being reviewed by the Trustees in November/December 2020; 

- Chirk Scout and Guide groups - all meetings to be held outside, with limited access inside, from September 2020 until October half-term 2020 when the situation would be reviewed and fees would be waived for that period. 

The Trustees were delighted to see that from September some of Chirk Scout and Guide groups were meeting outside – those groups who weren’t able to meet in person continued to meet via Zoom. 

The Trustees later decided that all meetings should continue outside until at least the end of 2020. 

In September 2020 the Trustees received,  with regret,  the resignation of Mr. Terry Evans as Trustee/Chairman of Lôn y Bugail Trust.   The Trustees acknowledged Mr. Evans commitment and energy for over 20 years – not only to the Trust but to Guiding and Scouting in Chirk;  for all his fund-raising efforts in order to be able to apply for the Lottery Grant which enabled the present building to be built, together with securing grants enabled the building to be maintained to a high standard. 

And then December 2020 arrived and all meetings had to cease and the building, once again, was locked to all activities – both inside and out. 

However, during this lockdown period, the Trust was able to carry out a number of major improvements to the building – including refurbishment of female shower area; installation of a new outside door and window in one of the bunkrooms in order for the building to be Covid and fire regulation compliant;  new led lighting and heating throughout – to be more energy efficient;  replacement roof windows – some of which were completely rotten and the new windows being more energy efficient.   A number of minor works were also carried out during this period.  The Trustees would like to thank all those who worked on the building. 

In March 2021 it was agreed by the Trustees that Chirk Scout and Guide groups could, once again, meet outside, with limited access to indoors. 

Following a visit by a member of Wrexham Council’s Covid Enforcement Team, and with their approval, the Trust was able to allow a group of D of E students from England to use the shower facilities at the bunkhouse (with strict guidelines in place) over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend. 

In May 2021, the Trustees agreed that Chirk Scout and Guide Groups be permitted to meet indoors with certain restrictions in place.   With regard to residential use the Trustees were hoping that by the end of September 2021  visitors would, once again, be able to stay. 

The Trustees would like to thank  - 

- Chirk Guiding & Scouting Groups for their continued co-operation during this very difficult period. 

- Welsh Government  and Wrexham County Borough Council  for the financial grants  that the Trust continued to receive during the lockdown periods. 

- Covid Enforcement team at WCBC for their advice and help during this difficult time. 

The Trustees hope everyone has and continues to stay safe during these very difficult times and that 2021/2022 will be a much better time for everyone – not only in the UK but worldwide.
