- Chairpersons report
Welcome to the 2023 ACA AGM and many thanks everyone for your membership,
participation and support of the Abshot Community Association and the Sovereign Social Club over the last year.
I apologise that I could not be with you today as I am away on business this week but if you have any questions or comments they will be noted, and I will get back to you on my return (Should I be voted in again!)
Andy will be giving you a recap and overview of the Sovereign status and their teams views and plans moving forward, however, I wanted to take you through some of the achievements of the Charity as a whole and how the ACA and the SSC work together for the benefit of the Charity.
2022 and into 2023 this really has been a bounce back year for the charity following the pandemic. In early 2022 hall user groups had either left us or their number dwindled to the point we had to take short term action with their hall hire rates to enable them to survive. As for the charity and SSC we would not have survived had it not been for the grants and loving hard work of the committee in making the facility you see today.
Without the volunteers that put in the effort, at times to the detriment of their own lives we would not be here today, I personally would like to thank the current committee of Dawn, Angie, Krissie, Paul with the relentless work they have put in, and in particular John with the huge amount he continues to do day in day out. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
As a result of the wonderful facilities we have today I am glad to report that hall hire is up 24% from 2022 and continues to grow in new user groups, kids parties, adult birthday and christening parties and for the first time in many years we had a wedding reception again and have more booked in for this and even next year already.
Membership is up an amazing 49% and continues to grow week by week.

We have invested a lot back into the building also, the patio of course was a large project that made a huge difference, hall and Alen bar decoration, Bluetooth sound systems for hall hirers, new furniture in both bars, ceiling tile replacement, energy saving automation of lights and other systems when not in use and many more things.
We have also been able to relaunch fun days and our support of external people in needs, this year we supported Dinky Doris, not only through the money we have collected in the charity bottle, but the amazing Dinky Doris day we held in the field, it was great to see so many of the community come out and support it and of course the Platinum Jubilee of our late Queen last summer.
There are plans in place for more, hall hire can be increased as we are only at about 60% capacity at the moment, another revamp of website to stay fresh and informative, increased social media presence on the ACA side to name a few and of course the decoration will never stop.
For now though I again would like to thank the membership for their support, the committee for their time and hope we can all continue to grow the place we enjoy.
Thanks
Dave T ACA Chairman
3. Financial report
JAM to report on audited books.
In JAM absence Paul Tickner highlighted items from the report
Can I draw your attention to page 6 of the financial statement, the breakdown of the income and expenditure for 2022 compared to 2021. In 2022 the income was £34,524 with an expenditure of £35,077 therefore showing a deficit whereas there was a profit in 2021 of £1,386. During 2021 we had lockdown and therefore expenditure was reduced. 2022 was a year with a normal turn over. The difference in 2022 was the cleaning charges was a lot higher 2022 a cost of £12,939 where in 2021 was £6,339. We are more recognised now and have more bookings. Hall hire in 2022 was £21,542 where 2021 was £8,395.
The £44,532 for repairs and renewals was for the lights and hall floor. The SSC have paid for the patio as a donation to the ACA.
We have no major liabilities, and everything is running smoothly.
