MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
Whimple Victory Hall is managed in accordance with the constitution. Trustees were confirmed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Officers and Sub Committee members elected at a meeting immediately after the AGM.
Regular users of the Hall are invited to nominate a trustee to serve on the Committee. Other trustees are recruited from the community, often to serve utilising their specialist skills.
Seven full committee meetings were held in this report period, excluding the AGM and other additional meetings. Nine Management Sub Committee meetings were held to discuss day to day management of the hall, respond to arising issues and appraise any remedial actions or purchases. The Management Sub Committee reported to the full committee of Trustees. The Sub Committee is empowered to make everyday decisions quickly and efficiently to ensure the smooth running of the Hall. Complex proposals are prepared and presented to the full committee meetings for debate.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The land and buildings of the Victory Hall are held in trust “ for the purposes of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of Whimple and the neighbourhood thereof without distinction of sex, political, religious or other opinions ”.
To that end, the trustees work to ensure that the Hall is well maintained and available at all reasonable times, for any person or organisation, to hire for events and functions, whether held just once or on a regular basis.
The trustees raise funds to achieve their objectives by hiring Hall facilities to the public and organisations and through fund raising drives, such as Soup ‘n Sarnie events and events associated with Whimple Village Week.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trustees believe that the Hall is seen as a significant asset to the village and wider community.
Wide sections of the community can be regularly seen at the Hall, from the very young (Pre-School and Primary School) to the Over 60’s, and the range of organised activities offering something for everyone that include: pantomime, film club, history society talks, dance/fitness classes, table tennis and snooker. ‘Soup ‘n Sarnie’ lunches are very popular with all age groups and benefit the Community. These lunches, table top sales and raffles support funding for the Hall. The Trustees recognise, and are extremely grateful for, the significant contribution of many volunteers who support the Hall throughout the year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Trustees regularly monitor our pricing policy in order that we balance present and future financial needs with the economic realities of our community.
A copy of the accounts will be provided to the Charity Commission, together with this report. The Hall has no debts.
It remains the principal strategy of the Trustees to preserve surplus funds for major renovations as agreed in the 2019 public consultation on ‘The Future of our Hall’.
