Maurice Rowson Memorial Hall Management Committee
Chairman’s Report, June 2021
With our customer base reduced to almost zero it came as a surprise and with some relief when Braintree District Council included village halls into the Business Support Grant Scheme.
These grants enabled us to keep the position of cleaner and of booking clerk open. In the case of the cleaner who would keep a watching brief security wise and look after the Post Office’s continued Wednesday half day usage, and the few users able to comply with the government Covid restrictions.
Further to these grants and separate to them, NHS contacted us for the potential use of the hall as a temporary vaccination centre. This was agreed by committee ‘phone around’, though in a spirit of community service a reduction to the suggested rental cost was offered and agreed.
As mentioned above, although one actual meeting occurred in late 2020, further needs have been accomplished by use of emails and ‘phone calls’. Otherwise, business wise the NHS has been covered by the efforts of Mr Jarvis and Mrs Degnan. During this time we welcomed our new Hon. Treasurer Russell Couch, and thanked his predecessor Mrs Sid Kelshaw for her past help and cheerful demeanour.
At present we are researching means to obtain a more reasonable energy cost and looking to re-decoration of external paintwork. We also are thinking of replacing the hall heating system and will also check out the possibility of improving the noise levels by means of ceiling insulations.
