***Trustees** 

- **1 MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING held on 12 July, 2023, were read and approved by C Jones, seconded by M Davies.** 

- **2&3 TO RECEIVE THE REPORT OF THE TREASURER AND ADOPT THE ACOCUNTS FOR THE MEMORIAL HALL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH, 2024** 

**Those present at the meeting were handed copies of the hall accounts and the Charity Commission form CC16A. RWV had considered using accountants this form CC16A but the cost was too prohibitive. Now there is no longer a treasurer, RWV has taken over the role herself. K Baker proposed that the accounts be approved, seconded by F Brazier.** 

- **4 TO RECEIVE THE REPORT OF THE MANAGER** 



**What a year it has been- the most expensive one too. We started off with the decision to repair the Annexe and then realised, through advice from the builder, that it was really beyond repair and began the process of sadly, demolishing the building, which happened in the October half-term, 2023. Fencing has been placed around the concrete base and a gated area provided for Preschool. I am still hopeful that we can more forward with a project of rebuilding this but this will take a long time and lots of financing.** 

**The  rear  hall  needed  a  new  boiler  in  November  2023  as  repairs  were escalating and it was out of manufacturer’s warranty. The new boiler has a 10-year guarantee so we are covered.** 

**Then came the news that the fire alarm was not compliant with regulations and we booked to have extensive work done in February of this year to have all the updates done. But before that work began, the workshop adjacent to the hall caught fire and caused damage to the rear hall and main kitchen. The group in the rear hall followed procedure and evacuated to the car park assembly point and the insurance is dealing with the repair costs. The costs included work to the roof fascias, new windows, new fencing, electrical work and a new shed. The fire alarm system is now compliant.** 

**The community fridge project is going strong. The grant of £450 received from the Co-op went towards the cost of replacing the old bottle fridge we had in the kitchen and also purchasing the freezer.** 

**We have purchased recycling bins for halls and foyer and the large Euro recycling bin is now being collected once a month and only restricted by what Eastleigh  Borough  Council  currently  recycles.  They  are  hopeful  that  a business food-waste scheme will become operational in 2025.** 

**We had new outside lights put up for added security and I hope those are all the major expenses needed for a while.** 

**Bookings are very buoyant and invoicing is the highest amount the hall has ever seen. Groups which start in September sometimes don’t survive but they have all continued. There are still gaps in the main hall, particularly in the afternoons but no gaps in the evenings, Monday to Friday and there are only Thursday night gaps in the rear hall although the Local History Society** 



**books about six of these. Bookings are down in the summer but the cleaning costs are also reduced.** 

**K Baker proposed the report be accepted, seconded by C Jones.** 

## **5 TO APPOINT CHAIRMAN OF THE TRUSTEES** 

**RWV asked if the committee should continue to have a floating chair or a permanent one. It was agreed to continue with a floating chair and F Brazier offered to be the next one.** 

## **6 TO APPOINT THE TREASURER OF THE TRUSTEES** 

**M  Davies  proposed  that  RWV  continued  acting  as  treasurer.  This  was seconded by K Baker who said RWV had done an amazing job during a very . difficult year with so much expenditure and the fire to deal with.** 

## **7 TO ACCEPT NOMINATIONS OF TRUSTES** 

**M Davies, F Brazier, K Baker, C Jerromes, C Jones and RWV all agreed to remain trustees. I Underdown proposed the trustees be accepted, seconded by K Baker.** 

## **8 ANY OTHER BUSINESS** 

**K Baker asked if the hall’s public liability insurance covered groups hiring the hall. RWV said this was the case but hirers should also have their own insurance to cover their own activities.** 

**F Brazier asked if the expenses from the fire were covered by the hall’s insurance and RWV confirmed that the insurance would cover all the costs with the exception of the £450 excess.** 

**I Underdown suggested going back to holding the AGM in the evening to encourage more members of the public to attend. RWV said it was difficult to get a slot in the hall in the evenings and M Davies said it was difficult to encourage people to come along whatever time it was. RWV said next year the meeting would go back to being in the evening. She said it was always a problem trying to attract more committee members and this had become more difficult since Covid. She asked members present if they had an ideas.** 



**The Parish Council would like to change their entrance to inside the foyer again. Their current door opens onto the car park and they have had near misses with cars and pedestrians. Also, the door needs to be wider to comply with disability regulations. Members of the committee inspected the current and proposed arrangements and this will be discussed at the next committee meeting.** 

**K Baker said it was important that hall users should ensure that both doors are locked when they leave.** 

**She also wished to record her thanks to the minutes secretary for getting the minutes out so promptly after each meeting.** 

**There being no other business, the meeting closed at 3.07pm.** 

**THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE AT 7.30PM, TUESDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER, 2024.**
