Stixwould Village Hall Charity number 1199625
Chairman’s Report for the period 01/01/2024-01/07/2024
The first half of 2024 was taken up with completing the exhibition on the early life of Major ‘Gentleman Jim’ Almonds founder member of 1st SAS and resident of Lincolnshire. This was curated by members to the local history group and displayed in March and April at the Cottage Museum Woodhall Spa
Using a photograph of Almonds in his Scout uniform in 1928 we worked with a local subgroup of Beavers (the most junior members of the scouting movement) looking at how scouting and uniforms had changed over the decades. They then produced a collage which we put on display at the village hall.
A very positive independent evaluation of the exhibition and the project as a whole was submitted to the National Lottery Heritage Fund in July 2024 and formed baseline for a submission for a much larger grant to undertake the necessary renovation work to stop the further deterioration of this Grade 2 listed building.
The six windows at the front of the building were removed for repair and renovation on 7 May. They were reinstated on 4 June and have made a positive impact on both the appearance and the heat retention of the building.
Regular social and learning events continued throughout this period in the form of coffee mornings, village quizzes, a plant sale, floristry workshops and a session with a local historian on how to use the local archives for research.
