## ***************************************
During the past year, we have continued to improve our facilities with an upgrade to the ladies’ toilets and the kitchen. We have also had a new AV system and lighting put on the stage. Outstanding is decoration of the committee room and refurbishment of the gents’ toilets. We will also be looking at the boundary wall to the car park and repainting the lines in the car park.
We have at last returned to pre pandemic levels of bookings, which has meant a lot of extra work for our caretaker, Mr Fincher. We therefore appointed a cleaner, Oksana, who unfortunately had to return to Ukraine in the autumn. She has been replaced by Mrs Vincent, who is doing an excellent job. Mr Fincher had a prolonged absence because of ill health, but we are glad to see him better again. Whilst he was ill, Mr Bodkin helped us out with caretaking and will still be helping out when needed.
As with all organisations and individuals, we have been hit really hard with fuel bills. We have installed low energy LED lights in all rooms and have a remote controlled heating system for the main hall, so we can maximise fuel efficiency. This meant we did have to put up our hire charges for the first time since 2019. However, we are still very competitive with other local halls and our facilities are now looking really up to date and modern.
Thank you to our caretaking and cleaning staff, who have done a wonderful job in keeping the hall clean and thanks also to the trustees for their support.
