## **Langford Budville Jubilee Hall Trustees’ Annual Report June 2026** ## _Annual Report for 2025 - 26_ This is the Annual Report for the Hall. It was also presented at the open meeting of the Parish Council in May 2026. ## _Financial performance_ In the year to December 2025 income from hire was £24k (2024: £20k) with sundry income from Budvue, the bar, events and bank interest contributing a further £4k (2024: £6k). Ordinary expenditure was £20k (2024: £22k). The ordinary surplus for the year after depreciation was £8k (2024: £3k). We have though expensed the surfacing works described below which has taken this surplus to a £4k deficit in the financial statements. The bank balance at the end of December was £36k (2024 £47k) which includes £7k “belonging” to separate funds comprising Bowls, the Community Fund and the History Fund. ## _Capital works_ Two capital projects were completed during the year: Surfacing the courtyard between the Hall and the bank with asphalt (£12k). This work was an unfinished element of the construction of the Hall from 2012 and will mean that the area can be used more flexibly and safely both for events and by regular users, including for example the baby and toddler group. The work was carried out by Gales during the half term break and they kindly also did some work on the drive to surface one of the worst areas. Installing a solar energy & battery combination on the Hall roof (£9k). This work was sized to the Hall’s current electricity usage and permitted export capacity (which is small because it has a single phase supply). Trustees reviewed quotations from several national and local suppliers and chose Somerset Renewables, a north Somerset company. We have designed in a switch such that the system’s battery can be used to power the Hall during outages. The battery is a modest 10kWh so would be used primarily for lighting and for charging electrical devices. ## _Bookings_ ## _Events_ Café Plus continued to be the major ongoing community event and took place monthly through the Winter months. Other community-facing events include the Budvue cinema, the Friendship Circle and the Jazz club. In September we held a lunch to celebrate the contributions of the early Trustees who did so much over a great number of years to bring the Hall to life. In particular, we were able to thank Keith and Lynne Moore who guided the project through consent, funding, construction and the early years with their myriad teething problems. ## _The Community Fund_ The Hall continues to manage the Community Fund. Successful applications during the year were made by the School and by the Church and also to the parish in support of the _20 is plenty_ campaign. _Trustees, key holders and helpers_ Very sadly our Treasurer, Mike Grabham, died in May after a long battle with illness. In addition to being a cheerful and calm presence, Mike was also very active in the bowls group and will be much missed by many people. During the year Margaret Brown, our secretary and bookings administrator stepped down after many years of service to the Hall. We have been very lucky that Pat Webb stepped forward to fill her shoes as bookings administrator. Regular bookings remain healthy and the Hall remains a popular venue for childrens’ parties and evening events. We also said goodbye to David Brown who stepped down alongside Margaret at the 2025 AGM. More recently, we have welcomed Nick Mitchell as a new Trustee. Imogen Chetter and Naomi Connorton have taken over cleaning responsibilities at the Hall whilst Charlie Roffe-Sylvester continues to act as groundsman. We cannot operate without our Trustees, keyholders and supporting staff. I am really grateful to all of them. In common with the other groups in the village, the Hall contributed to a call for volunteers in the most recent edition of Roundabout. We would be very happy to see new faces.
