Report for 2024/25 Prepared for the AGM of the Management Committee - Monday 19th April 2025
Introduction
The following is a summary report of the main activities carried out at the village hall on behalf of the trustees.
Working Group.
The working group continues to support the hall activities, primarily arranging bookings, ongoing upkeep and maintenance. Current members are:
Mike Robotham (Chairman), Wendy Lawrie (Treasurer), Jane Johnstone (Bookings), Liz Robotham (Secretary), Maureen Tropman and Jenny Hudson. All members are thanked for their ongoing support.
By agreement with the trustees, the working group no longer hold formal (minuted) meetings. Any meetings are on an ad-hoc basis to discuss arrangements for any organised events needing the support of the working group.
Bookings
The hall continues to receive booking from regular users and one-off bookings, mainly from the website. The hall continues to host monthly cinema nights (through the winter months), making good use of the previously installed cinema equipment.
Conditions of Hire
No changes to the hire conditions have taken place since the 1[st] April 24. It is proposed that the hire charges be reviewed at the AGM (see agenda item)
Website (www.cutthorpevillagehall.com)
The website continues to attract interest for bookings.

It is proposed that a discussion document is developed looking at the possible range of options for a replacement system and submitted for consideration.
