Yelverton War Memorial Recreation Field & Villa ear to 31 St December 2025 e Hall Trust Chairman's Re ort for the Ggngral overYl•w Tl)Is licls beeri a busy year with a good level of regular and one•off bookings. During the summer thè premlses were broken into and Ihe tractor Sto￿n. This was fruslraling but the response was a good joint effort with an initial response from Penmoor Nursery and the Bowling Club and our Treasurer dealing with the insurance claim with support from Horrabridge Rangers. Replacement of the Iraclor and arranging suitable storage for il is ongoing. 11 had been intended that the ladies, loilels would be partially refvrbi$hed in 2025 with the remainirvJ toilets to be done al a future dale once fijnds pemiitted. But Tony, Nina and I pul together an applicat￿n lo Ihe West Devon Borough Council Community Halls Grant Team for co-funding towards refurbishing all the loilels. We were awarded £8500 which will supplement Ouf own funds arKI another grant of £4000. Although the applicat￿￿ process meant a delay, the result is that we can now fully refurbish all the toilets. The work 1$ booked in lor April 2026. We are participating in an initiative stsrtod this year by Oèvon Communities Together which has brought together village halls in Wesl Devon at meetings lo share exp8nenc6s, ideas and knowledge. HAII UAA The hall eonlinues to be well-used by bcal groups and ￿sidentS as a venue for a wide range of social aclivilies, fundraising and meetings as well as events open lo members of the public such as Ihe annu81 Yelverton Art Festival. All parts ol Ihe premises are in regular use, including the field. Thi* means however th81 parking can be a source of Iwstratifffi. Thanks are owed to our Bookings Secrelary Nina, who is the point of contsct for everyone using the hall and who has had a ￿sY year. I'm in no doubt that the increased level of bookings in 2025 is due in no small part lo Nina. Fl•ld Horrabridge Rangers IHRSA) continue to use the field for junior matches, and I'd like lo thank them for their work maintsining the field. I'm also gratefvl to HRSA for their 5UPPOrt in dealing with the aftemiath of the Iraclor IhelL The field 1$ used for Car Bool Sales duriro the summer month5 and as il was a mostly wam and dry summer. most planned b￿1 sa￿S did lake place. 8uilding Maintenancè Thanks are due to our VICE Chair Alastair who dea15 with maintenance issues. sM)elimes al very short notice.

But I think il's worfh recognising that this year has demonstrated the willingness of everyone on the committee lo help out and support each other. partscularfy when there are problems such as the break-in.
