Chairman’s Report 2022
2021 was a year of covid, change and transition for the Barn committee.
Firstly we lost the two main stalwarts of the committee: Debby and Stephen Callender in September
Debby had been on the committee for over 15 years and Stephen was the Chairman so we lost an enormous input of energy, time and knowledge.
The initial job was to reassign the various duties and where possible the roles that Debby and Stephen performed. This was done successfully with the help of existing members taking on extra roles & duties and two new members coming onto the committee: Roger Whittaker and Sallie Barker.
Initially we continued without a Chairman as there were no volunteers. So we had a “Plural” system With no one taking overall responsibility. It would have meant a different person chairing each meeting and this proved a bit impractical in reality so we have developed a new method with a chairman voted in for a year only (David Franks ) and a deputy chairman ( David Wilson ) who will automatically fulfil the role of chairman the following year.
Due to Covid in the earlier part of the year we were unsure about holding open days however when we did decide to open we found they were popular. There were 5 open days with an average of 55 people visiting. The Heritage weekend in Sept was a great success and combining again with talks on the SOE brought in 621 visitors for both days.
Due to Covid we were unable to organise any school visits or private views. We had a very successful party and private view in April this year and expect to organize more of these. On school visits we are contacting local schools to see if they would like their children to have an educational experience in the barn.
There was one private birthday party in 2021 and 2 weddings.
We also had the leaving party in the barn for Stephen and Debby
Total visitors for the year 2021 to the barn was 1089.
Going forward to 2022 we have had two open days with teas and cakes already with 3 more planned. We have managed to increase the number of people involved with helping on the teas as this was a big task carried out by the same people every open day.
The very successful Jubilee lunch and Barn dance held in the barn for the parish and organised by Kim Sweeting was attended by over 120 people including the mayor of Guildford.
