ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The hall has had another busy and successful year prowding many actm.ties and fundi¢)ns for the communty.
Hall bookings, for ￿￿￿dIngS. one off events an¢J regukr events, such as weekly dasses, remain slroThJ.
Annual income from bcokings compared to the prior year has increase(* by 15%, allowng reserves to be
toppwj up. The incwse comes from a cc*nbination of the type of bookirrfJs and the small increase in prices
charge(I by the Village Hall to offset in¢reased costs. We have kept a fv404ier pricing Stru(*ure with r￿UCed
rates for local, communty reL*ed events. In parbcuLar. the p*gr(KJp. which wns throughout schcx)I tem
times, re￿iVeS pathularfy favourable te￿rts.
Frun a Maintenan￿ persp&awe, it has iwi a year invdving several Malc￿ projects and eynditure.
Slarting in September the failed wooden llat rcof was replawJ with reinforced fibreglass covering. This
amounts lo about ha￿ the hall's r(K)fing area, has been very SU￿$$￿[ and will last many years.
The £39k funding this being n*t of the hall's reserves.
Following ￿ in OCto￿r 25 solar panels wwe fitted over part of the rEw i¢))f together with a 10 KWI battery.
Combined this should provide a signrfic2nt trthst to the hall's energy n￿s, particulady through the summer
months. We were very fortunate lo receNe a £19k grant for this from the rwtional which covered the
entsre cost.
In November a local conlraclor installed a FrerKh drain system lo part of the lawn area used by the playgioup
which had tradrtionally lain wet for long per¥x15. This ¥>t*ars lo have largely SO￿ the problem and will
enable the children to play outside ￿The. Half of the £8.5K cost of this bw'ng met by the pwgroup.
There have been clher unwelcAJne Maint￿r￿ c(ksts over the year mainty involwng plumbing bLrt now, after
15 years of servi￿, this Can be ex￿￿A. There rwnains an outstanding major repair for this coming summer
to replace the fer( ftat rcofed area over th& krtchen and entran￿ halls. This has long been a problem wrth
consiSten￿Y leaking and is now showing svJns of overall failing. It 15 propxJ5ed to repLqce this with the same
fibregL%s covering as last yearfs area, wth simi￿[ cosL
We Iwk forwdrd lo another successfijl year.
