Annual General Meeting

Chairman’s Report

5[th] July 2023

The past year has been one of planning for the future; building upon the improvements that have been made in previous years.

Many very positive responses have been received about the recent improvements to the Hall’s general appearance, interior, toilets, kitchen and Supper Room. To continue this theme of improvements and ensure the future of the Village Hall, a strategic review, facilitated by Durham Community Action, has been carried out to enable the Trustees and Management Committee to decide on what to focus. Amongst other things, this included ensuring the condition and suitability of the fabric of the building for the next decades; considering such things as energy efficiency, safety and longevity. It is hoped that this next year will look towards having suitable plans in place, fundraising and implementation of such plans in order to bring the building into the 21[st] century.

While such works will necessitate substantial grant assistance, fundraising over the past year has included such Village Hall-hosted events as a Christmas party and dance, a summer appearance of the band Prelude, a performance by the Castle Players and an evening to celebrate the late Queen’s Jubilee. There was also a small Covid Recovery grant.

The Village Hall continues to be used by regular groups for hobbies, activities and meetings, by private hirers for celebrations and similar activities as well as providing a location for the popular outreach post office.

Thanks need to go to all the people who have donated their time and voluntary efforts; not least Mike Vayro and Danny Grogan for their organisational time and energy for events over the year and the preparations for the King’s Coronation celebrations, as well as Tony Kennan for his ever presence.

And special thanks must be given to Neil Russell who is leaving the board of trustees and Management Committee at this AGM. Neil has been an untiring supporter of the Village Hall for over a decade, was essential as part of the team that modernised the Charity’s structure and has been an important advisor to me and others within the Charity in recent years. He will be missed but I’m sure it’s highly likely that he’ll have a continued involvement with the Hall and its management.
