The Coronation Celebrations in May 2023 had triggered a massive increase in interest in and willingness to help with the Hall and the last year has represented a huge improvement in the facilities on offer and the Hall's finances. The Hall Committee has swelled, becoming more representative of the community, and the introduction of a Volunteer Day on the first Saturday of each month has seen upwards of a dozen people out in all weather, ensuring that the Hall and grounds are far better maintained than hitherto. Key to all of this has been the group collectively referred to as the Marigold Squad / Marigolds who are our fee free volunteer cleaners who have ensured the cleanliness of the Hall and kept themselves and the remainder of the Committee informed of any issues thereby ensuring that repairs etc can be implemented promptly. During this period, the meeting room floor and blinds have been replaced (grant successfully received), the lights in the main hall replaced by LED lights (money donated following a hugely successful Craft Fair in Oct 2023 and kindly fitted free of charge by a committee member. This has all led to increased use of the Hall and a greater respect for the building by users. Many additional items require attention during the forthcoming year. The entrance door and the windows in that area need replacing. (Grant funding to be looked into). The flooring in the main hall requires considerable investment to reseal. (Fundraising for this is now a priority). The upgrade to the kitchen and associated electrics needs to be revisited. Looking forward to the following year, money also needs to be secured to bring the playground into the 21st century. We thank all concerned for their efforts and enthusiasm for the hall to succeed and look forward to the continued support from our community. **War Memorial Hall Trefeglwys** ## **Summary of Bank Accounts 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024** **Opening Balance** Current Account. £10596.69 Savings Account. £4390.30 £14986.99 previous year **Income** Hall Hire. 10296.00 8163.50 Donations. 2010.26 2302.00 Bar Takings. 12390.02 7118.48 Fund Raising. 2750.72 0.00 Grants. 7452.00 0.00 Bank Interest. 75.64 16.46 Sundries. 0.00 81.33 34974.64 17681.77 Total. 49961.63 **Expenditure** Licences. 267.16 200.00 Utilities. 2096.29 2060.96 Heating Oil. 3586.45 9930.57 Insurance. 3455.10 3325.38 Cleaning/Caretaking. 444.86 1884.38 Repair/Maint. 861.31 271.14 Bar. 6352.63 6591.60 Capital costs. 7801.24 1463.35 Sundries. 913.00 20.00 Bank Charges. 129.08 108.72 25907.12 25856.10 **Closing Balance** .
