**Brixworth Village Hall Holcot Road, Brixworth, Northampton, NN6 9BS Telephone: 07531 873471 email: manager@brixworthvillagehall.co.uk** ## **CHAIR REPORT 2020** In many respects this has been a most unusual year for the Village Hall. Most bookings have had to be cancelled due to Covid 19. Every effort was made to create and maintain a safe facility for Little Acorns. Beari ~~in~~ g in mind that they had to operate with reduced numbers, we reflected that in the hire charges. However, thanks to - successful applications for a number of ~~Covid C~~ ovid related Government grants, our bank account is stronger now than at the beginning of the year. It has been particularly challenging keeping abreast of Government guidelines. At one time we were receiving new ~~and a~~ nd/or revised notices every week. The question of management of the car park has made little tangible progress since the Management Committee’s resolution of 2018. It is believed that the Parish ~~council C~~ ouncil have now changed their Solicitors. However, extracts from the Parish Council Clerk’s reports to the Council (which are attached below) for April and May this year suggest it is not a dynamic situation. Until the car park is resolved we cannot move forward on access and use of it. We have received enquiries from several new hirers, some of whom have requested storage space which is in short supply. We may need to review storage allocation if any past hirers decide that their requirements have changed. We are considering refurbishing the kitchen ~~,~~ and renovating the flooring in both halls. Finally, I would like to thank the entire committee for their commitment during the year and especially Hayley (our Manager) and Tony ~~,~~ (our Treasurer), who have now been carrying out these vital roles for many years.. ## **Dennis Coles** ## **Chair, Management Committee** Parish Council Clerks reports for April and May 2021 April 2021 May 2021 Page 2 of 2 Brixworth Village Hall Management Committee Accountsfor Year Ending 31° December 2020 2020 2019 2020 2019 Current Account and Cash Refurbishment Account lat 01 January 20201 £22989.45 £28fAO.45 men £0. £0.12 £22989.57 £28640.57 Salaries & Administration Gas/Electricity Water £8400. £8400.00 £4505.70 £1805.50 £5904.84 £1210.50 £1247.96 Receipts 2020 2019 Insurance £1256.47 Net Interest Regular Hire Sundry Hire Deposits Grants: DDC & NCC, etc Donations & Fund Raising Film Nights Transfer from Savings Miscellaneous Creditors Payments £0.00 Property Maintenance Advertising Health and Safety Telephone Deposit Refunded Miscellaneous Expenses Cinema Costs Cleaning and Refuse Collection Licenses for Premises Capital Costs..
