Annual report for the year 2021
Foxton Village Hall is a charity with the object of the provision and maintenance of a village hall for use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Foxton. The Village Hall & Sports Pavilion complex is owned by Foxton Recreation Ground Trust (RGT), from whom VHT leases the building.
The Trustees of the charity currently are Tessa Howell (Chair), Cheryl Pusey, Christine Mead, Philip Fawcett (for St Laurence PCC) and Peter Howell (for the Parish Council).
Non-trustees who usually attend meetings are our Minutes Secretary Kate Woods and Treasurer Martin Smith, also volunteers, and our Facilities Manager, Ian Deas. We also have a Deputy Facilities Manager, Tony New.
We have had some changes in personnel during the year. Jean Fosbeary retired as a volunteer from preparing the monthly invoices to hirers. These are now done by Tessa Howell, combined with continuing as Bookings Clerk.
Jan & Paul Cambridge retired from cleaning at the end of May, after 19 years loyal service. Natalie Howard has taken over doing all the cleaning.
During the year we have met once by zoom and 4 times face to face as well as conducting some business by email. We have continued to ensure that the premises are well maintained and available for use. Most of the interior lighting has now been upgraded to LEDs.
RGT funds some work such as replacement of essential plant and fixtures and new building work.
We currently have two projects in hand for S106 funding. One project, initiated by RGT/Parish Council is to install WiFi. The other is a VHT request to extend the Main Hall Store including provision of a workshop/store for the Facilities Manager. These projects have both been led by RGT and progress has been frustratingly slow. We hope that WiFi will become available in the first half of 2022 but the extension will probably be a longer term project.
Due to COVID, this has been another unusual year. The various restrictions in place have meant that some hirers have still felt unable to meet. However, we have continued to have a variety of use, mostly School and Pre-School, but also different sport and exercise class activities, interest groups and a few social events. Little Foxes re-started briefly - we hope they will be able to resume soon. Our advisory body, ACRE (Action for Communities in Rural England) has kept us well supplied with useful information.
We now have a new website, thanks to Tony New, which we will continue to develop. The history board in the foyer has been updated to include Challis Close, also display of a presentation key from the 1929 opening of the previous Village Hall.
Our most pressing task is to find some new Trustees, which we will be addressing in the Spring. We are also working with RGT/Parish Council to improve understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the different bodies and to develop a better working relationship.
We anticipate that we will have more hirers and Trustees in 2022 and will be able to progress with ideas to upgrade the premises.
