Elizabeth Griffin Memorial Hall Committee
Report for 23/24
The hall has returned to full business as usual after the pandemic and the hirings have returned to normal levels. Regular users are Parish Council, Parochial Church council, the WI, the Craft club, and the Senior Citizens club. There were also a number of private hirings.
In the year, repairs and improvements to the Hall and the surrounding area have been carried out. These include the new staired access to the loft space and at present, the finances remain in good order.
The Village Hall Committee once again took advantage of Asda offering grants for organisations, which we chose to use to support the Luncheon Club and Church Book Club over the winter months. We were also able to benefit from a grant from the Ivinghoe and Wing Community Fund for a new projector, which helped support subsequent film nights, race nights and quiz events.
To provide further income and to offer a social function for the Village, the Committee continued to run the ‘Pub in the Hall’ or PITH. The Committee had already applied for and received a full alcohol licence. This enabled us to provide a fully stocked bar, and drinks sold for prices significantly below standard pub prices. Events have included race nights, darts competitions and quizzes. There was also a special PITH events for carol singing which proved to be one of the most well attended events in recent years. We also held a New Year’s Eve event.
One of our only frustrations is that whilst we continue to strive to make the Elizabeth Griffin Memorial Hall the heart and soul of our Parish, it is noted and often drawn to our attention by many of the Parishioners that we very rarely have attendees from the Parish Council at any of the above events mentioned. Whilst there appears to be an eagerness by the Parish Council for Parishioners to attend events organised by them, this tends not to be
reciprocated by the PC when events are organised by other parties within the village. This was most noticeable at key events where many groups have come together, such as the Special PITH event for carol singing in December mentioned above. At this event, the Hall, the WI, and the Church joined forces to generate an excellent evening, which also raised a lot of money for charity. We continue to ask why many of the Parish Council members choose not to attend these village events, when so much effort is put in by so many parties within the village.
The EGMH committee has remained broadly unchanged over the last year, although there has been a change of Chairperson.; the current members are Colin Sparrow (Chairperson), Tim Benson (Secretary), David De Butts (Treasurer), John O’Dwyer, David Mann, and Pam Waugh.
