Amateur Dramati¢s are now wttj'ng on 3 shows per yeai. Heaven of the wnb.nue to use the hall for their annual weekend. Wth the hall being used frequentty. frcm hir8 bartaknngs enat4e us to c(ytttnue maintenance of the hall. Wé had a few emorgenci85 to take (xa of duTiryJ the year. Due to drop in water pres8ure in changing rooms and water dripping through lI1r. we had to drain the tanks whith wero leaking. Our wonderful team set to W)Tk 8nd txrt tanks on laoe ts¥ys and Trdumbed t tanks. These are now inspeded on a rtyular basis.
The I(nge was deeorated and new Iwjhting fitte(L LpJhtiNJ was also replaced Trn the ha[aY and outside Ihjhling was where necessary. We had a draitBge survey tlone whNth pynted out several prDblems.

Roof repairs and solar ne1$ have just been o)m Thanks to a hard worknr¥J and commFtted ExecutNe Commfttee the haH continiks lo run 8moothty. It would be ni to see more people in1j the commTttee. Flnaneial r•view The Hall Incur a deficrt of £5.1 in 2025 {2(r24 £1,466). This was laTgely due to roof repairs of £7,334 and the cost of the solar array and tery Syem ot£12,0(KJ against which there was a grant of£10,000 from Resi[nI Energy Mounteneys Rerwabs Communty Resilience Fund. Th8 effect of this has tEen monttored and is havtng a signDlcant effect on elecn.cty consumptton however the endiry of a fve ye8r electriw contral has Fesulted in a large in¢Jease in the unr( cost. Al the end ofthe year the Hall had cash resour of£24.249 £3,5CA) from the start ofthe year. Thero is still a backhg of Maintenan to be udertaken whith will make further inroacls imo this balartt.
