AGM Minutes 2022
Good evening all, and welcome to the AGM for the Boughton Monchelsea Village hall and Recreation Ground. After the last couple of years where we have had to adjust to life during a pandemic, it finally does feel like some normality has been resumed.
Incase any of you aren’t aware, I am Rachel Newcomb, currently Chairperson for the Village Hall and Rec Ground. It has been a positive year in some ways, with hirers being able to return to normal with their bookings, although I think that everyone has felt the knock on effect of COVID and its Challenges, some with attendance numbers and other groups with financial tightening’s.
In reference to our current members of staff, Tracey Paven is still acting as our bookings clerk, she has been most supportive with the smooth running of bookings, even with the difficulties that covid has presented at times, so thank you for all of your ongoing support Tracey. Toby Newcomb continues to be the caretaker and works hard at keeping the hall looked after.
We have not had any major works carried out on the hall this year however there have been ongoing discussions around the redevelopment of the hall with a lot of background work being undertaken in the form of surveys to establish the hall and its possibilities for the future. We hope that this work will continue and that the Hall will remain and important and valuable community space for all to benefit from.
I would now like to pass to Sam to give an overview of the financials of the last year.
Sam Sanders the Treasurer supplied the attendees with a printed copy of the accounts for the year and it was run through verbally. Nothing was raised by the attendees.
Sadly as a committee, it has been a difficult year as our numbers have dwindled to an unpresented low level and as such it has made running the hall and rec ground a rather full time job. With my personal work commitments changing the last couple of months have been a struggle to keep everything ticking along and I have therefore made the decision to stand down as Chairperson. During conversations with Sam Sanders our Treasurer and John Starr our recreation ground Representative we all came to the realisation that the Hall was becoming rather to big and too much to look after on our own, and we have therefore all decided to step down from our roles. The positions of the committee have been advertised, however we have not had a influx of community representatives stepping forward. However we will need to replace the current committee as it stands. Therefore all roles will be available if anyone would like to put themselves forward for such.
The roles that will need filling are –
Chairperson
Vice Chairperson – Optional
Treasurer
Buildings & maintenance Rep
Recreation Ground rep
Housekeeping Rep
Fundraising and Events rep
Currently as regular local hirers we have representatives from each organisation – can it please be confirmed who will be representing each group going forward –
Church
BMAT
Parish Council
Playgroup
Friendship Circle
Junction
WI
Choir
Several members of Boughton Monchelsea Parish Council stepped forward for the roles – however it was agreed that the exact roles would be agreed within the next Committee Meeting for the Village Hall. This was agreed by all attendees.
Meeting closed at 8:30pm.
