MADGINFORD HALL
ANNUAL REPORT AGM April21- MARCH 31[ST] 2022/
I make no apology for re-iterating what I have said before that is that we are lucky to have such a wonderful facility as Madginford Hall which is used by so many groups, organisations and residents in our community. We owe a lot to those residents that had a vision for the future and worked so hard for quite a few years to acquire the land and raise the funds to build the hall. A few of us are still around today!
The Hall is run by a small dedicated committee who give their time voluntarily. Sadly I have to report that two of our members have died since the last report, primarily our Treasurer Molly Dickinson who had been our Treasurer for as long as I can remember, Molly was not into IT but had everything at her finger tips. Secondly Ann Allbut who was younger than most of us and did a lot for Madginford Seniors, they will be sorely missed. I am deeply grateful to Richard for stepping into the breach as acting Treasurer he has one a great job.
The majority of our regular users have returned following the Pandemic so the impact on our finances has not been as bad as expected, more of that later from Richard. We are sorry to have said good by to Madginford Seniors who have been with us for so many years.
The future – Car Parking is an ongoing issue Since we agreed to leave the issue with KCC we have heard nothing/
Heating – Our Electricity supplier is managed by Central Utilities and they advised us because of the daily increase in prices to change as a matter of urgency from SSEto xxxxxxxxxx . I signed (after consultation with Richard) a 3 year contract with the option to review after one year..
Building Committee Report (Appendix one)
Booking Report (Appendix two)
In conclusion I would like to thank your committee namely Pam Thomas (Secretary) , Richard Ash (Acting Treasurer), Carolyn Wilson, Marie Watson, and not forgetting Kate Fletcher our booking clerk and Jane Nutt our Auditor for their support. We are desperately in need of more committee members so please users consider nominating a member to serve on the committee without which we cannot function.

Appendix B Booking Report
In May 2021 we contacted all users to ask if/when they might be returning and received a few positive replies. Many groups were not feeling they wanted to return yet. However, we were receiving bookings for parties. In September 10 regular users indicated they were returning. By December we were taking on some new regular users including a dog training group – this is a first for Madginford Hall. We were sorry to hear that the Seniors Club who had been operating in the hall for over 30 years, would be closing due to a dwindling number of members.
Overall by March 2022 the hall bookings had recovered.
