## Courtauld Memorial Village Hall Annual Report 2024/25 We feel that we have had a successful year of consolidation, with the continued daily occupation by the Barn Preschool, three very successful productions by the village Amateur Dramatic Society, parties and weekend activities and with events for both the Church and village charity events. We are hosting a country and western concert later in the year. We had a successful Christmas shopping event which took place in December which raised over £500 for the hall funds. The Village Hall has continued to play a very important role in our village festival, and we have found them room for a shed to store all their equipment. There have been two enquiries for wedding receptions this year, but neither progressed due to the lack of a bar in the hall. The layout of the building is not conducive to fitting a permanent bar into the space but perhaps in the long term this could be considered. We have highlighted that there are a number of maintenance issues arising including both sets of outside doors becoming rotten and the concrete paths at the side of hall are perishing. However the most significant is the condition of the roof, which although is not leaking currently, has missing tiles and many of the ridge tiles are in poor condition. We have obtained three quotes which range from £47k to £120K. Serious consideration needs will be given as to how we will raise the money to cover the cost of this repair and how the timing of the repair could be coordinated alongside the continued running of the hall. The Trustees have been considering whether we should register as a CIO, the benefits of this need to be fully understood and considered. At the current time this would be somewhat difficult as the first step is to progress with land registry and the title deeds cannot be located despite contact with the Courtauld family to seek their assistance with this. The Trustees have set up a cloud-based information resource to store all their relevant information, so this will be available in a central place. This will mean there is continuation and immediate access to vital information should someone not be available unexpectedly etc. We would like to further develop the website and move the accounts to QuickBooks. We thank all Trustees for their willing working for the hall despite their personal commitments and difficulties over the past year and thank the secretary for the minute taking.
