## **Scarth Memorial Hall Chairman’s report 24[th] May 2023** **Welcome to the Annual General Meeting of The Scarth Memorial Hall for 2023.** **We managed to come through the Covid pandemic in quite a strong position compared to some organisations and it has been another very busy year for the hall. All the regular weekly and monthly events, run by the hall Vinyl Countdown, Film Club, Quiz and the Open Mic. continue to be well attended. The Monday morning community café continues to be very popular and I must congratulate the organisers for their hard work and dedication. Your help and support is very much appreciated both by the trustees and the wider community.** **Hall users and visitors alike are very impressed with the facilities we provide and with the overall appearance of the hall. The lunch club for instance say it’s the best hall in Teesdale for their community work.** **The regular hires continue to be a substantial part of the hall’s income and I thank the user group organisers for providing the community with their activities and their continued support of the hall. If you would like to join in any of the activities provided, please see the TV screen for contact details or ask any hall trustee.** **We staged several one off events throughout the year. In September we had another sell-out performance from The Fabs. We also hosted the ever popular Castle Players, Northern Soul Academy and two Highlights North presentations. The dining nights were a success and more are planned. In June we presented several events to celebrate The Queen’s platinum jubilee and in May we televised the Coronation of King Charles.** **In January we had the new front doors fitted by Atkinsons Joiners. Disruption was kept to a minimum during the work which took four days to complete. We were so impressed by their workmanship that we contracted them to fit the new side doors. At the same time they boarded up the old lift shaft and raised the floor.** **I would now like to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers for their hard work and commitment throughout the year. Without their help the hall could not function. However, we always welcome new volunteers so if you or anyone you know would like to help with maintenance, existing events or run new events in the hall please speak to any trustee, they will be available to chat with after the close of the meeting.** **Several of the trustees have served on the board for many years and are not getting any younger, the constitution allows for up to 11 trustees we have 6 at the moment if anyone wishes to join the trustees to ensure the future running of the hall for the village** Page **1** of **2** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**please speak to any of the existing trustees after this meeting, or at any other time! We will be happy to explain the job to you and hopefully welcome you onboard. If you look at what the hall can achieve with only 6 trustees imagine what can be done with a full compliment. We desperately need more (younger) trustees now so we can have a succession plan in place for them to take over the running of the hall when we are not able to do so. If this does not happen then the future of the hall will be in jeopardy.** **As chair of the board of trustees I would like to thank my fellow board members for all their hard work, commitment and enthusiasm over the past year.** **Mike Wylie Chairperson** Page **2** of **2** Scarth Memorial Hall: Staindrop A HALL FOR ALL LOTTERY FUNDED Scarth Memorlal Hall CIO Number 1176610 Unaudlted Finan¢ial Slaten*nts 31 December 2022 Scarth Memorial Hall.
