CRONDALL VILLAGE HALL - Chairman’s Report 21.04.2026

Thanks to our Trustees ( Barrie Cheeseman, Owen Durrett, Trish Sharpe ) and other members of the committee, Richard Sharpe, Sue Mitchell, Bev SylvesterEvans, Graham Sylvester-Evans ,Sharon Gregory and in particular our administrator, Heather Shepherd who joined us in December 2023
2025 was a further year of recovery after the difficult years of Covid for us. Hire income is up 26% on 2024 fast approaching pre-covid levels. 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. Various improvements have been made to the hall and a quote for limited decoration of the vestibule has been accepted.
Financial Highlights – I am pleased to report that we ended the year with a surplus of £3,317 and a positive balance sheet of £7,684 with a total cash in the bank of £51,403.
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, along with the savings from solar power
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 £40,518
In 2025 The Management committee arranged a defibrillator course in conjunction with Jules Cheeseman which was a great success
Our plans are to encourage more local groups to hold events at the hall continue. There will be a special show hosted by the Parish Council in the Hall on May 11[th] to publicise the active groups in the Village
THE CRONDALL DINKERS PICKLEBALL CLUB is growing steadily, even with sessions being cancelled for other users. 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
The Management Committee have hosted for 4 events, all of which proved to be successful in 2025. They were a quiz evening to benefit Naomi House and Jack’s Place, A Silent disco for younger families, Music & a meal with Out of the Shadows and another night with Sprinkle Of Saffron and A Taste Of Contemporary Indian Food

Section B Disclosure

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners).

Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose .

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
