## Thecentreinpoynton (PYCC) 

## AGM 

10[th] November 2021 

Since my last report, I am sorry to say that we have lost two of our long standing Trustees, Graham Smith and Lawrence Bamber, they will be missed for their help and support to the Centre over the last 5 years. Happily we have been able to replace them with two new members, James Thomson and Bob Piggott, these two gents will be able to bring to the Centre new dimensions which we will value. We are always hoping as of last year’s report that we can interest more younger residents of Poynton to join our team and make the future of the Centre a lively and viable one. 

I am happy to say that the Centre has once again been able to re- open its doors to our users.  We unfortunately has lost some regular users but have pick up business in other areas. 

The Centre has still had to be maintained during lockdown, the monies which we have received from local government have certainly kept us afloat and helped to maintain our very old building. 

Following the last AGM on November 19[th] 2019, a large portion of 2020 was severely affected by the Covid pandemic and this, obviously, impacted on our performance as a community centre. March 2020 saw the first signs of Covid impact with classes beginning to cancel, and then on March 30[th] we closed The Centre until further notice in compliance with government regulations. 

In July we had a few classes returning when government rules allowed, and this continued throughout the summer and early autumn until November 5[th] when another blanket closure was enforced. This eased on December 2[nd] and allowed to re-open on a limited basis, but this was then curtailed until April 12[th] when easing of restrictions was lifted and we were able to re-open to any class that wanted to return. The ones that did, observed social distancing and classes sanitised their equipment as well as encouraging hand sanitisation. 

We have gradually returned to almost to our pre-Covid levels of hiring, and although a few classes have still not returned, most have, plus we have gained numerous new ones. 

The Centre continues to provide opportunities for a wide range of classes and activities such as art, textile and fitness & dance classes, including Zumba, pottery, music education and band practices. We still host regular meetings of the local Bridge & Stamp clubs as well as the local W.I. and History Society. The Marionettes class is still very popular with local youngsters. We were able to provide space for our local Poynton Brass Band on occasions, as their practise rooms were too small to use whilst the pandemic took hold. 

We also have classes for children and babies with our very popular Baby Ballet classes and yoga orientated education for pre & post-natal mothers. Add to this we have a regular acting class for teenagers. We are also home to two Slimming World educational sessions, plus the Men-in-Sheds workshop goes from strength to strength following the massive refurbishment of 2/3 years ago. Children’s birthday parties remain very popular as well. In short the Centre now delivers space and amenities to a wide age range of users. 

Building upkeep and maintenance issues are a constant challenge as the building in places is over 170 years old, and we are constantly battling water ingress through various sections of the roof, plus 



old windows, some of which have been replaced. A good portion of the inside lighting has been upgraded to LED and other upgrades are planned. Ensuring that we are aware of our carbon footprint. 

Our next major inside upgrade, is the stage in the large hall and we are currently well advanced in bringing the stage back into full use with a new more modern appearance. This has been ongoing for a number of years, unfortunately there always seems to be another more important repair to take its place 

The Centre seems to be as popular as ever with local Poynton people and hopefully this will continue.  We look forward to maybe re-introducing the Craft Market but, only when we feel it is safe to do so, there are many pinch points within our Centre and the health and safety of our users is paramount. 

It goes without saying that without the support from other members of the Centre, especially our Manager Kevin Bell, ensures that the Centre remains to be at the heart of the village.
