Achievements and perfomian¢è Another year passes and use of the hall remains buoyant with new user groups popping up on a regular basis.

Croyde Village Hall Trustees, Report (contlnued) Croyde Players returned for their usual January l February Pantomime performances after breakiny for a year lo gather a breath and work on new material. On¢e again six perfomiances resulted in very few empty seals as the audiences enjoyed a galactic ls1 on an old lavourile - Dlck Whittington. The value of this group can not be understated. Not only doe5 11 provide for a twice a week social gathering for the cast and 5UPPOrt team, but provides such a special occasion for the community never fail to embrace and support the event each year. The hall be¢ame the focal point once again for the annual Christmas Tractor run whith continues to grow with ever increasing numbers of vehides and spectators. The Committee already have 2026 on their radar which PTomlses to be another fun social gathering. A small team of volunteers continue trj lend to the flower troughs and hanging baskets ensuring they bring vibrant colours and sme115 to our Village Hall green and village spaces. The Commiltee would like lo thank all those involved (many of whom are nol on the Committee) for their contribution5 10 brightening up our village. There were no major expendilures Sn the Cufrent feporting per1od as we bolster the accounts lo fund upcoming inilialives which may include a major improvement to the bar facilities - something that has been in the planning for some lime. The front face ol the hall did benefit from a new UPVC double glazed single entrance door (supplied by Woodstock Windows). which replaced the wooden door that had seen better days. The Committee decided it was lime to expand the kitchen facilitie8 by replacing the glass washer with a more capable Industrial Dish Washer. The Hall femains financAally viable wlth healthy acwunts. It should be noted that the ho11 remains self-fvnding with the only sources of income being received from hire fees and our licensed bar. The current Management Commiltee have once again dedicated a significant amounl of their personal lime tD ensuring the vill8ge continues lo enjoy our valuable ¢()mmunily facility. Many on the Committee have remained Trustees for many years and although they arè showlng no signs of resigning just yel Ifingers crossedll, we are always eager lo encourage new members. I would Ilke lo thank each one of our current committee members for generoLJsIy giving up their time lo manage our Vlllage Hall during the 202512026 reporting period - what a leaml Financial revlew Total income decreased from £33,498 10 £26,115.
