ort ofthe Mad "nford Hall Committee 2024 to 2025 The Hall has enjoyed a generally successful year with a robust level of bookings. however. there have been several issues some long tenn and others entirely unexpected and hopefully not likely to be repeated The most dramatic incident was the collision by a driver of a car with the side of the Large Hall. Very fortunately this was during the School Holiday so no one from the Pre School Play Group was present. With the help and support of the Parish Clerk lo Upton the issue on the day was dealt with and our Booking Clerk and the Pre School staff managed the situation in regard to the users of the Hall. We are grateful to the Deputy Parish Clerk Amy Bush for her support in securing a competent bullder to repair the damage. A more long-term issue has been the charging strurture for the Hall, which together with high energy costs means we are seeing a slow but steady decline in our financial position. A ch211enge for the near future is restructuring the fees and charges to ensure we can continue to operate without causing difficulty for hirers.. We have already sought to secure funding for Solar Panels to reduce our energy costs and are exploring other funding that may be available. We have also had a number of relatively routine maintenance issues relating for eg to tree management. boiler repair and safety improvements. which have been navigated successfully. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed this year to our continuing operations, especially our Treasurer Carolyn Wilson for all of her work, which exceeds the brief normally expected of a Treasurer, and all of the Committee for their input over the year.

MADGINFORD HALL TREASURER'S REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31" MARCH 2025 Lettings have increased by £2,028.30 8nd should increase further in the nex financial year as the Camera Club has returned to us with a regular Tuesday evening booking. Other bookings have remained steady. The cost of utilities has continued to increase. An overestimation of the usage led to an overcharge which was claimed by direct debit, although it was later corrected when a meter reading was taken. This gave a credit on the account which now stands at £1,269.82 and will cover future billings. OveraLI the loss was £9.927.51 (£8,657.69 when the credit b8Lance is included) but still needs to be turned around into a profit situation as the funds are shrinking. Despite all of the losses. we remain in a strong position as there are considerable reserves.
