## **THE MOTCOMBE MEMORIAL HALL AND RECREATION GROUND** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT** 

2022 was our first full year of operation following Covid.  We were pleased by the way that people returned to the Hall whether to attend exercise classes, participate in groups, see a performance or hold a private event.  We quickly got back to a full calendar albeit that some changes following Covid became permanent such as reducing the maximum number of attendees during live streaming events. 

Our programme of improving the Hall premises continued but at a slower pace as we prioritised building up the reserves that had inevitably been reduced during Covid. However, we were able to introduce superfast Broadband to the Hall, which has many future possibilities.  We consequently generated a healthy net income of £22,772.42 resulting in cash in the bank of £78,682.79.  This may seem a lot but we need to prudently provide for future expenditure, notably the day when the 95 year old roof of the main Hall will need replacement or refurbishment.  We also need to extend the car park and install low level lighting.  When all three Halls are in use, it can be insufficient to accommodate all users.  Our kitchen will soon need upgrading. Most importantly, we need sufficient funds in the bank to see us through another pandemic. 

I make no apology for repeating our profuse thanks to the many volunteers who put in so much time and effort into maintaining and running the Hall.  We simply couldn’t function or would have to massively raise charges were it not for the many hours put in by our band of volunteers, both those on the Management Committee and those who do ad hoc work. My thanks go out to them all: it is that volunteer spirit that makes Motcombe so special.   We are also grateful to other village organisations such as the Churches and Parish Council for their cooperation and support. 

2023 so far been positive with a plenty of bookings. We have over 30 regular groups who meet at the Hall, most for exercise classes. Live Streaming has bounced back well.  We also have many one off bookings, especially for private parties. 

The Hall is an essential, integral and ingrained part of Motcombe.   We estimate that well over half of Motcombe residents interact with the Hall every year.  We continuously strive to increase this percentage by putting on events and hosting groups that are relevant to the needs and wishes of Motcombites.  We always need volunteers either on a regular or ad hoc basis so please feel free to come forward.
