Chairman's Report
Ashreigney Village Hall AGM 2025
Since our last AGM, your Village Hall TTusiees have attended formal meetings on 9
occasions. along with other emeigency meetings concerning the re￿rbIshrnent.
The last 12 months have been rather difficult and disappointing regarding the
refurbishmeni.
Denise Oanon, our forffler Treasurer, stood down in September and we welcome
Karen Smith. who agreed to take on the role. although she has not become a trustee.
Mick Mitchell has decided to Stand down after this evening, as he is planning to
move away. We thank for all his woik in overseeing the estate of the village hall
and school house.
This leaves us with only 5 trusiees plus myself, so we need to recruit in order to share
the workload.
I would like to thank the 6 tnJstee5 we currently have. for all their hard work and the
support they have given me over the past year. especially Mary, our very efficient
secretary. who I rely on gready.
We have spent a loi of time discussing and agreeing proposals conveyed by the
steering group. in anucipation of successful grant application5. Chris, Richard, Kasia
and myself have pui in many hours of hard work, and despite achieving son]e smaller
tinancing,
it was very disappointing when the General Election was called and our rnain source
of funding disappeared before our very eyes.
My thank% go to Mick & Rob, along with their wives, Tanya and Gemn)a, for running
the Hare on the 2 Saturday of each month.
Although it is not quite so well-attended as when it first started, it is still a very
imponant part of our community and very much enjoyed by those who attend.
Thank you to Gerrit Lemtnens for ￿kIng on the nmning of the Garden Show, ably
assisted by his wife Jill. I must also thank them both for organising the very
successful plant sale, soon to be repeated in April.
Friday tnorning coffee sessions have pmved ro be very popular and. once again I
would Like to thank those who step up and do their turn at hostÈng it...and all who
regularly attend.

People have also enjoyed and appreciated the ￿OnthlY markets and Communiry
lunches, ably organised by Katherine Cole and her helpers.
All these events piovide a ieal centtal focus to Ashreigney lrfe.
Our thanks also go to Kim Melhuish for selling up our library, although l am not sure
if the DCC'S hopes of running a request delivery and collection service have ever got
off the ground.
Thank you to Kim and lan CoIes for administrring our website.
Thanks also to Cher Madison for running the 200 dub. She has increased the
numbers participaung and kept renewals up 10 daEe.
Last but not leasL a big thanks to Steve and Val Dart foi cleaning the hall each week
and keeping it looking as smart as possible.
We also have a new editor for the Ashcombe, so our thanks go to Ilelen Thorne for
taking on that role and keeping it fresh and interesting. Thank you. too. to all those
who give their time (and fuel!) io distribuiing it around the Parish.
