Specific activities organised and run by others on these premises in 2020 included: Fireworks Night.
Christmas Carol singing in the car park.
The pavilion is always open for unrestricted use by young people for table tennis, mini-snooker and table football.
A standing letting is in place for the Bright Sparks nursery school during term time. Their hiring agreement was reviewed. The rent payable was waived with effect from March on account of the pandemic restrictions.
No indoor bookings were permitted, for the same reason.

a) Administration:
Management Committee meetings were convened by Zoom, at which the grazing of the playing field with sheep was agreed, and the replacement of a field gate and the roadside boundary fence.
b) Finance:
Internet banking was set up by the Honorary Treasurer, who also arranged the associated safeguarding procedures with the three trustees.The reserves (as funds held) stood at £18498 with NSI and HSBC. (See Annual Accounts for income and expenditure).
The Management Committee Chairman successfully secured a grant of £10000 from Wiltshire County Council for lost revenue occasioned by the pandemic restrictions. A further, discretionary, grant was also applied for.
c) Repairs and maintenance:
Sundry routine external works were carried out.
6. Conclusion:
The trustees were satisfied that during the course of the year the charity had fulfilled its obligations to provide public benefit.
