Trustee's Report 2023 

2023 – We successfully continued with our ethos of providing a profitable welcoming facility. Activities included yoga classes and private groups for sewing and pilates plus regular requests to host children's parties. During the year we also gained one regular weekly hirer for Tai Chi, and two new monthly users. One is a group of taxi drivers and friends who relax and play traditional games and the other is Hounsome Fields Residents Association. 

There was very little significant progress regarding the extension works. It seemed to be a case of two steps forward and three steps back. There was an opportunity at the end of the year for the users to have there say about what had finally, after over 4 years, been established as the only possible solution. Constraints being the environment and current building regulations 

We are pleased to say that a variety of community events were  organised by the social team in the 2023. The most successful being the Halloween Pitstop, which is being repeated again later this month. Some of the other events were badly affected by the weather. Having this group of volunteers means that the Trustees do not have to be directly involved in organising these types of activity.  After attending the Beer Tasting event David Cowling and his neighbour, Tony, agreed to voluntarily assist with minor maintenance work. 

The trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank Alex Cross for the work that he did voluntarily keeping the website and facebook page in working order during 2023.
