From the books and records my examination included a review of the accounting records , and comparison of the accounts with the records. The procedure undertaken does not provide all evidence that would be required in an audit: and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. In connection with the examination, no matters have come to my attention. l) Which would give me reasonable cause to believe that any material in repect to the accounts were not properly maintained, OR 2) To which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the records to be reached. Mrs Dawn Benson 13 Newtown DL12 OTH March 25th 2024 Signed **A HALL FOR ALL** ## **Scarth Memorial Hall Chairman’s report 6[th] July 2024** **Welcome to the Annual General Meeting of The Scarth Memorial Hall for 2023.** **This 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.** **Once again hall users and visitors alike are very impressed with the facilities we provide and with the overall appearance of the hall.** **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. These included a sell out performances by The Castle Players and Déjà vu. The latter being in aid of the Christmas lights. We also had a performance by singer/songwriter Katie Spencer in conjunction with Highlights North. Jane Young’s art class staged a very successful ‘Art for all day’ in October. It was so well attended that they staged another one this June and it looks like it may become a yearly event.** **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 this meeting.** **My thoughts now turn to the future. If you live in Staindrop this hall belongs to you. We only manage it on your behalf and this meeting gives you the opportunity to voice your opinion on the direction you would like the hall to take both now and in the future. Several of the trustees have served on the board for many years and are not getting any younger. There will be a point when we are no longer able to carry out our duties in the management of this fine community building. 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 and the charity when we are not able to do so. If this does not happen then the future of the hall will be in jeopardy.** Page **1** of **2** **A HALL FOR ALL** **Our constitution allows for up to 11 trustees we have 7 at the moment if anyone wishes to join the trustees to ensure the future running of the hall for the village, 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 7 trustees imagine what can be done with a full compliment.** **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**
