CRONDALL VILLAGE HALL - Chairman’s Report 21.04.2025
-
Thanks to our Trustees ( Barrie Cheeseman, Owen Durrett, Trish Sharpe ) and other members of the committee, Richard Sharpe, Sue Mitchell, Bev SylvesterEvans, Nathan Best ,Sharon Gregory and in particular our administrator, Heather Shepherd who joined us in December 2023
-
2024 was a further year of recovery after the difficult years of Covid for us. Hire income is down 1/3 on 2023, we think mainly due to people taking time to get back into their routine.
-
Barrie, Richard and Roy Bridgewater continue to carry out maintenance and improvements. Richard spent an enormous amount of time on the backs of our Solar Panel installers because the system was continually tripping out. It is now back to functioning correctly and records show that our monthly bill is now only a quater of what it was pre-installation
-
Financial Highlights – I am pleased to report that we ended the year with a surplus of £3,317 and a positive balance sheet of £14,719 with a total cash in the bank of £46,719.
-
The core costs of running the hall have not increased significantly due to the fixed price contracts and remote Hive control of our heating system that we have in place.
-
We continued paying our annual interest free loan repayment of £3000 for the side extension. Balance sits at £29,000 as of today. We have cash on deposit of £38,878
-
In 2024 The Management committee arranged a number of defibrillator courses in conjunction with Jules Cheeseman which were a great success
-
Our plans are to encourage more local groups to hold events at the hall continue. Edward Haigh conducted a market research project via Facebook and submitted his report
-
Our plan to work in conjunction with the Croft Cafe team to put on Children’s films in the holidays and has not come to fruition. We will continue to explore the idea.
-
Recently we have launched THE CRONDALL DINKERS PICKLEBALL CLUB with help of Sally Grace and Andre Strachan, mixed doubles champions who are in the process of setting up a multi-court paddle and pickleball centre in Farnham. We had over 30 sign up on an open day. Interestingly we had a wide range of ages participating. We are optimistic this will increase the use of the Hall considerably. The club is being managed by Angela Rawlinson whose contact details are ar1pickleball@gmail.com and 07554005498
