Sutton Valence Village Hall
Chairman’s Report for the year to 31 October 2022
I have lived in Sutton Valence for over 30 years, originally in the middle of the village and now just beyond the Warmlake crossroads. I believe we are very lucky to have a well-maintained Hall that is used by a wide variety of groups and clubs. This excellent facility is the result of the time, dedication and commitment of the Treasurer, Mr. Derrick Parkes and I would like to formally thank him on behalf of Sutton Valence.
The year to 31st October 2022 was a more normal period for the Hall and its users. I am pleased to report to users that we have had no further interruptions due to lockdowns and this enabled most of our users to return to a normal pattern of usage.
Overall, the finances of the Hall showed a net increase in reserves of £10,148 to just under £40,000. There will be a more detailed breakdown from our Treasurer. Your committee is therefore considering various improvements to the Hall which includes upgrading the lighting making it more energy efficient, improving the Hall’s chairs and is keeping in mind the work that may need to be done on the second side of the roof.
The Committee is very grateful for the hard work of Sandra Velvick who cleans the Hall, Paul Burnett our caretaker and Janet Burnett who manages the Hall’s bookings.
