Chairman’s Report 2021
The lockdown for Covid-19 has lasted a long time but slowly we have been getting the bookings back after re-opening and it’s beginning to look a little more like normal now. It seems we have got to learn to live with Covid and so while we can relax a little and have a third injection, we can still keep the sanitisers in place as I see this as a valuable thing to be doing.
Thanks to all the Committee for their support.
Eric WEBB Chairman

Booking Secretary's Report
May 1 , 2020 - April 30, 2021 was a quiet year for Steventon Village Hall (and it should have been a very busy year!).
The hall continued to partially operate throughout the Covid-19 outbreak (a handful of activities were able to resume in line with the latest guidance) but it was fully closed during the lockdowns.
Most of our regulars could not operate at all and restrictions on social gatherings meant that all our one - off bookings, such as parties, quizzes, dog shows, etc. had to be cancelled.
I regularly updated all the regular users by email reg. new procedures, advice, etc. As the guidance and rules kept changing, the support from ACRE has been vital. New conditions of hire have been introduced to enable us to operate as a ‘’Covid secure’’ hall and are still in place for anyone wishing to hire the hall.
We are almost fully reopened now and bookings are returning, regular and one-offs. 90% of the hall users we had prior to the pandemic have rebooked for the end of this year and the next year.
